To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An army was called into existence ; so, too, a navy, with officers selected from men whom our commerce had trained for the sea. As to the foreign relations of the country, one government after another did indeed accept our friend- ship and seek a share in our commerce; but it was not easy to reconcile the new commonwealth with the Bourbons nor with the Republic of France, and England was ruled by statesmen who had no prophetic eye and who rated the wealth, the glory, and the power of their coun...try as of more worth than justice and the law of nations. It is to the honor of John Adams, that, in his administration, strife with France was quieted by his own wise forbearance and personal reso- lution. But England was more stubbornly unreasonable and not only searched our vessels on the high seas for the property of those with whom she did not choose to be at peace, but any British-man-of-war, wherever she encountered at sea one of our beautiful ships, manned in a great part by the sons of ISlew England Freeholders, would send a young lieutenant or midshipman to climb its deck, and press into the British service such Americans as he should see fit to call British citizens.
