To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Southern leaders asserted their theory of State sovereignty with increased audacity, and threatened to exercise it to the destruction of the Union ; hoping to frighten the Northern people, who were known to be fondly devoted to the united country, into renewed submission to Southern control. The North rapidly gained in power through the natural in- crease of population and immense European immigration ; the South endeavored to balance this growing ascendancy by an increase of slave States. ...Texas became annexed to the United States at the expense of a war with Mexico, and established a slave State. An intrigue, though it proved abortive, was set on foot to force Spain into the sale of Cuba. The Missouri Compromise Act was abrogated for the pur- pose of admitting the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas as slaveholding States. The bloody strife which ensued between the friends of freedom, or the abolitionists, as they were then called, and the Southern slaveholders who had emigrated to those Territories with a view of perpetuating that curse of America, slavery, is familiar to all who perused the journals of that period.
