What reading level is Life of Alexander H. Stephens book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
367 by no means unreasonable. Then the recent political victories, such as the passage of the Kansas Bill, what were they after all but the concession of the simplest rights, only won after the fiercest struggle, and held by the most precarious of tenures?
Did such a Union offer sufficient advantages to tempt them to await the time, certainly not very far distant, when the North having obtained the requisite majority in both Houses of Con- gress would have the South hopelessly at her mercy ? If..., as even the most temperate conceded, such a state of affairs would justify separation, even though it had to be effected by arms, why wait, when every day increased the proportionate strength of their adversary ?
It was while thoughts like these were beginning to force them- selves upon even moderate and prudent men, that Mr. Stephens was invited by the Legislature of Georgia to give them his views and counsel in this great crisis; and he addressed them on the 14th of November. As this si^eech is one of the most important of his life, and fully illustrates his views, both as patriot and as statesman, we give it entire in the Appendix.* The effect produced by this speech was a general impression that it had given the quietus to secession in Georgia.
