To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Slavery is remanded back to the position it held in 17S8, when the Constitution was adopted. Well had it been for the North and the nation if it had said and done this long ago; but by an amazing fatuity, by a spirit of timid for- bearance, if not of moral cowardice, it tempted and encouraged the South, yielding every thing to the growing exactions of the slave power. If the country was to be saved for freedom and humanity, is the war a strange thing? Is it not manifestly the judicial result of... our own pusillanimity and faithlessness to the fundamental principle and law of the nation ? While the South has not one word of complaint to utter as against the Federal Government, which she herself has administered dur- ing nearly the whole of our history, the North may well hang down her head in shame, and wonder that the visitation has been so long deferred. For the sake of outward peace and prosperi- ty she has sacrificed the inalienable rights of the African race upon the continent ; she has sacrificed the duties she o wed to posterity ; she has sacrificed the duties she owed to the vast emi- gration from foreign lands ; she has sacrificed the duties she owed to the virgin soil which God had given her, to sanctify and bless.
