What reading level is Justice to the South An Address By James a Dorr a Member of the New York Ba book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the foregoing, it may be inferred that up to the date — February, 1819 — it was the opinion of Congress, and the sense of the country, that a free-soil limitation was not a u need- ful " regulation respecting the territories of the United States.
But the free-soiler will ask, how is it in the case of the Missouri Com- promise i Was not that a free-soil regulation ? To which I replv, it certainly was not, in any honest view or construction, a free-soil regula- tion. It would be equally corr...ect to call it a regulation for the extension of slavery. The act of March 6, 1820, commonly called the Missouri Compromise, was, in fact, the drawing of geographical lines, namely, the north line of the State of Missouri, in latitude 41 decrees, or nearly, and the line ot 36 degrees, 30 minutes, to the west of Missouri, and prohibit- ing slavery north of those lines, and by fair inference, as well as by then existing law and custom, allowing slavery south of those lines. This being so — and no person acquainted with the history of the country will de- ny it — the Missouri Compromise was simply a law drawing lines of demar- cation which Congress at that time deemed it expedient to draw between the two different forms of society existing, one at the North, the other at the South, in the United States.
