What reading level is Eighty Years of Union Being a Short History of the United States 1783 1865 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The drill and drum-beat of office-holders, first perfected in the Empire State, Jackson made a national regula- tion, and used the wide patronage of government to draw round him a praetorian band. Nothing gave our national politics so downward a course as this, for office-holding lost the starch of self-respect when men held by the tenure not of merit but political favor. The proscriptive example set by one party the other followed henceforth. Both parties might boast of great leaders, but the ...opposition had the more intelligent rank and file; so that, as one of our scholars has well expressed it, the Democrats had the better principles, but the Whigs the better men. Southern planters seem to have preferred the alliance of leaders at the North who, like the Gaelic chiefs, could bring their clans with them ; they worked through the machinery of numbers; in- stinct and tradition, too, bred in them the Jefifersonian distaste for public pomp and public enterprise, and for WHIGS AND DEMOCRATS 277 wealth founded in commerce and the arts ; and yet the Whigs, by their devotion to the Union, gained a good footing in that section.
