To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So that there was no reason which could be drawn from precedent or from justice to forbid the immediate admission of Kansas with the Constitution she had already formed for herself.
Sumner spoke feelingly of the attitude that had been main- tained by the Administration towards Kansas. Referring to the period of the American Revolution and our struggles with the Mother Country, he affirmed that there was hardly a com- plaint contained in the enumeration in the Declaration of Independence against... the King of Great Britain that could not be urged with as much justice by the people of Kansas against the President. He had " sent swarms of officers to harrass their people, " he '' had combined with others to subject them * * * and given his assent to acts of pretended legislation " ; he " had waged war against them, " " excited domestic insurrection, " and " to their repeated petitions had answered only by repeated injury. " And, as the tyranny of the King had been renewed in the President, so Sumner urged, upon the floor of the Senate had been renewed the butt of sorry jest and supercilious as- sumption against the petitions of Kansas that had met the prayers of our fathers to the British Parliament.
