What reading level is Oration Delivered Before the Calhoun Monument Association of the Military And book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" It was about the year 1818-19 that the spirit of fanaticism, the evil genius of this country, reared its miscreated front in the halls of federal legislation, bringing in its train discord, aliena- tion and woe. The admission of Missouri into the Union was the occasion of its appearance. An attempt was made to impose upon that State a restriction as to slavery within her limits. A fearful agitation ensued. Missouri was finally admitted without the restriction ; but a provision was inserted in... the bill autho- rizing her to form a State government, by which slavery was for ever prohibited in all the territory acquired from France, by the name of Louisiana, lying to the north of 36° 30/ and not included within the limits of the State of Missouri. This was the Missouri compromise. It was a great and grievous error, because it violated the equal rights of the States, under the 32 Constitution, in an immense territory which was their common property ; because it connected a great moral and political principle with a geographical line ; because it established an odious distinction between the slaveholding and the non-slave- holding States ; and because it set an example which might be converted, as it has been converted, into a precedent for other and further encroachments.
