What reading level is Douglas And Popular Sovereignty : Speech of Carl Schurz, of Wisconsin, in Hampden Hall, Springfield, Mass., January 4, 1860 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Douglas finds it exceedingly in- convenient to encounter facts which prove, be- yond doubt, that these principles, from a mere theoretical existence, rose to practical realiza- tion. Popular sovereignty, which is at war with the doctrines of the Declaration of Independence, demands the slaughter of the ordinance of 1787, and Mr. Douglas is up to the task. He does not stop at trifles.
And here we must return to the Harper-Mag- azine manifesto. He leads us through a century of colonial history, i...n order to show that the people of the colonies claimed the right to legis- late on the subject of slavery. And, remarkably enough, all the instances quoted show a uniform tendency adverse to the peculiar institution. Mr.
Douglas then proceeds to discover the germs of his popular-sovereignty doctrine in the first Con- gressional legislation concerning the Territories.
I will not undertake to criticise that singular historical essay, although some of its statements are such as to make the freshmen of our colleges smile.
