What reading level is Letter of Hon Joseph Segar to a Friend in Virginia in Vindication of His Cour book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This latter sum would have been the saving to the seceded States, had they remained in the Union, or, what is the same thing, the amount they have lost by going out of the Union.
One more, and the last illustration on this head; and it is one that must stamp absurdity and madness on the measure of seces- sion forever.
By the census returns of 1860, it appears that the whole fifteen slave States lost, in that year, only 803 fugitive slaves. So eftec- tual was the fugitive slave law of 1850, and ...so kind the spirit of the controlling masses at the north, that, in all the slaveholding States, only 803 slaves were fugitives in the period of a year. What was this loss, divided among fifteen States? At $500 each, it was only $401, 500; at $700 each, it was only $562, 500; at $1, 000 each, it was only $803, 100. Now, I ask, can any sane, practical, common-sense man, for either of these sums, give in exchange the priceless and countless blessings and glories of a 31 Union which sent protection, security, peace, quiet, plenty, glad- ness, and joy, to the hearths and fire-sides of every American citizen, north and south, east and west, wherever born or wherever living?
