To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With such convictions, and believing that every hour of hostilities tends to our further estrangement, I have never voted a dollar for the war. As a legislator, as a citizen, and a sa man, I claim to be absolved from all participation in this murderous strife. With all my humble abilities I have endeavored to arrest it. I shall still endeavor, and if in vain, let my efforts attest, before (rod and man, that I am unstained with the blood of my countrymen. If, by giving all latitude to argument, ...I could discover a possibility of effecting a friendly reconstruction by dint of terrible encounters be- tween armed hosts, I might look on in silence and patiently await the end. But even in the event of the most complete and crushing vic- tories, I see but the sullen, forced, and temporary submission of the vanquished to a rule that they abhor. Can this stabbing and Bhooting 10 and shivering with shells convince the wrong, or reconcile the angry, or inspire with confidence those that distrust, and with friendship those that hate us?
