What reading level is Lincoln And Slavery volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has long been known that Lin- coln's purpose of emancipation became a fixed resolve not later than July, 1862. As early as June 18 he had privately read to the vice-president what is supposed to have been the first sketch of the Proclamation, and about the same time this was shown to an- other confidential friend. On the vessel returning from Hampton Roads, July 10, he was at work upon this or another draft. Two days later he urged his last appeal upon the border-state men to abolish slavery... with compensation, but 67 LINCOLN AND SLAVERY in vain. The situation was now vastly different from that of the previous year. In the lurid light of war, the dullest eye was beginning to see that slavery was the backbone of the rebellion. Every soldier's grave was a new testimony against it. The swift movement of events furnished proof that the public feeling against slavery had risen from day to day. In one of the early speeches Lin- coln had prefigured the peaceful ex- tinction of slavery as the task, perhaps, of a hundred years, but now a year of war had done the work of a century.
