To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus ihe Netherlands were added to the alliance against Great Britain. It seemed that the King of England and his min- isters would have enough to do without further efforts to enforce a Stamp Act on the Americans or to levy a tax on their imported tea. Notwithstanding the advantage gained by the accession of Holland, the year 1781 opened gloomily for the patriot cause. The condition of the army at times became desper- ate ; no food, no pay, no clothing. In their distress the soldiers once and ...again became mutinous. The whole Pennsylvania line on New Year's Day broke from their barracks and marched on Philadelphia. At Princeton they were met by emissaries from Sir Henry Clinton, w^ho tempted them with offers of money and clothing if they would desert the standard of their country. The mutinous patriots, however, were not of that mettle. They made answer by seizing the British agents and delivering them to General Wayne to be hanged as spies. For this deed the commissioners of Congress, who now arrived at the American camp, offered the insurgents a large reward, but this also was against the temper of the angry patriots, who though mutinous scornfully rejected the overtures of both friends and enemies.
