What reading level is Charles Sumner book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He did not touch this unwelcome topic until he had assured himself that Massachusetts was thoroughly opposed to the new measure, and even then he spoke in an apologetic tone which was sorely disappointing to many of his constituents. Nevertheless, his words had much weight as standing for the great body of Whigs who had voted for the Compromise in 1850, but who had never considered that it annulled the prohibition of 1820, and who were now opposed to the Kansas- Nebraska Bill. This speech, repr...esent ing the attitude of men who had reached the limit of compromise, influenced many minds which would have remained closed to the arguments of radical leaders in Congress. In a high-minded but an un- aggressive address Seward took his stand with the opponents of the meaSure. Later in the month, Sumner got the floor. To a greater extent than the other speakers, he dwelt upon the evils of slavery, so that Douglas sneered at his speech as REVOLUTION IN MASSACHUSETTS 169 "a mere essay on slavery" ; but he made clear the absurdity of the claim that the Compromise of 1850 annulled the prohibition of 1820, and drove home the charge of bad faith, inasmuch as this prohibi tion had been the proposal of the South, which was now striving to repudiate it, while refusing to per form its part of the agreement.
