To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By the exigencies of this civil war, we have two hundred thousand contrabands, more or less, within the lines of the Federal army dependent on the Government for support, and as a mass are of no practical use, but in many instances their numbers have had a ten- dency to injure the efficiency of our Northern troops. Therefore, for the time being, I advise and recommend an apprenticeship for them, trusting that an enlightened community may approve it. That these contrabands may be apprenticed to ...said corporations for the term of five years, more or less, in order that the grand scheme of an Iron Band may be completed from the Atlantic to the Pacific.^ I would also recommend that if this project be carried into operation, an act of Congress may be passed, authorizing such apprenticeship, giving to the President the right to appoint commissioners, the majori- ty of whom shall be from the Border Slave States, and the minority from the free States. Said Commissioners shall agree with the corpo- rators for an equitable rate of wages for the contrabands, as compared with the amount of labor performed by white men on our various lines of Northern railroads.
