What reading level is Oath of Allegiance book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This position is im- pregnable so far as a de facto submission to military force is con- cerned. Neither the laws of war nor those of reason oblige men to continue a factious and unavailing opposition against over- whelming and crushing force ; and no blame could attach to them for simply yielding to the rule of warfare, which connects with a surrender the cessation of active hostility. But it is an immense leap from this to the making of a solemn covenant, transforming into a government of law..., what was before only a government of force ; for the oath of allegiance transferred with the citizenship all its moral obligations, and invested the authority of Butler with the sanctions of a recognized and legal government. Had these parties approached the Federal commander with language substantially this : l *ns a defenceless people, wholly within your power, we submit without resistance to military force, and without conceding this submission to be obedience, " no censure could attach to them, and they would then be embraced within the terms of the eulogy conveyed in the resolutions you have presented before Congress.
