What reading level is Problems of Expansion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. Jefferson may be supposed to have known the meaning of the words hewrote. Instead of vindicating a righteous rebellion in the Declaration, he was called, after a time, to exercise a righteous government underthe Constitution. Did he himself, then, carry his own words to suchextremes as these professed disciples now demand? Was he guilty ofsubverting the principles of the Government in buying some hundreds ofthousands of Spaniards, Frenchmen, Creoles, and Indians, "like sheep inthe shambles,... " as the critics untruthfully say we did in thePhilippines? We bought nobody there. We held the Philippines first bythe same right by which we held our own original thirteen States, --theoldest and firmest of all rights, the right by which nearly every greatnation holds the bulk of its territory, --the right of conquest. We heldthem again as a rightful indemnity, and a low one, for a war in whichthe vanquished could give no other. We bought nothing; and the twentymillions that accompanied the transfer just balanced the Philippinedebt.
