What reading level is History of the United States of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It will be observed that congressional legislation during the war encroached seriously upon the powers granted by the Constitution. This was especially true in the case of the suspension of the writ of Habeas Corpus, as we have noticed, of the Revenue Act, and of the restriction of the press. The Constitution expressly provides for liberty of speech and of the press. In spite of this, many news papers were suppressed, issues of others were seized by United States officials, and the use of the m...ail service was denied them ; and many men were seized and imprisoned merely for criticising the govern ment s conduct of the war. In time of peace such a procedure would be alarming to a free people. But a state of war changes the whole aspect of the government. The nation was struggling for its life. Why should it not use every means necessary to preserve that life ? The government made many mistakes; but there is no reason to believe that there was any intention to encroach permanently on American personal liberty.
