What reading level is For the Great Empire of Liberty Forward book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The war declared a failure in the eyes of the whole world ; and not only that, but, that it must be stopped on the score of "justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare. " And this you cry into the ears of England and France, who merely wait to hear you say so ! Have not our enemies in those countries always advocated the recognition of the Confederacy on the ground that the war, on our part, was hopeless, unjust, inhumane, tyran- nical, and ruinous ? With what, delight the London Herald... and the London Times will hail this declaration ! With what, triumph they will point to it ! Is it not admitting all, all they have been contending for — hopelessness, injust- ice, inhumanity, tyranny, ruin, all ? And now, if the American people should be so lost to all sense of shame and decency as to indorse this declaration at a national election, with what face will you stand up before England and France, and ask them not to recognize the Confederacy? If this war is indeed what you affirm — a failure, and hopeless, unjust, inhumane, and ruinous — would it not be an act of mercy, of justice, of humanity, to step in and stop it ?
