What reading level is Extract From Speech By Alexander H Stephens book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Speak- ers of the House, we have had twenty-three, and they twelve. While the majority of the Representatives, from their greater popu- lation, have always been from the North, yet we have so generally secured the Speaker, because he, to a great extent, shapes and con- trols the legislation of the country. Nor have we had less control in every other department of the general government. Attorney- Generals we have had fourteen, while the North have had but five. Foreign ministers we have had eig...hty-six, and they but fifty-four. s While three-fourths of the business which demands diplomatic agents abroad is clearly from the Free States, from their greater commercial interests, yet we have had the principal embassies, so as to secure the world markets for our cotton, tobacco and sugar on the best possible terms. We have had a vast majority of the higher offi- ces of both army and navy, while a larger proportion of the soldiers and sailors were drawn from the North. Equally so of Clerks, Au ditors and Comptrollers filling the Executive department ; the re cords show for the last fifty years, that of the three thousand thus employed, we have had more than two-thirds of the same, while we have but one-third of the white population of the Republic.
