What reading level is Reconstruction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Are they' to be held as Poland is held by Russia, as Hungary is held by Austria, or as Ireland is held by Great Britain? Are the principles of the old Constitution to be abandoned, and the whole character of our system of government changed, in order that the white men of eleven States may be disfranchised, and the negro clothed with political rights? Is it possible, sir, that within the limits of our Republic white men will combine to degrade their own race and kindred in order to confer polit...ical j^ower into the hands of black men?
Sir, I deny the right of this Congress, or of the Federal Government, either directly or in- directly, to regurlate the right of the elective franchise within the several States. No such power has been conferred upon it. We must, if we expect to continue our free system of Government, agree, like frank and candid men, that there is no difference in the rights of the several States of this Union ; that each State is the equal of the other, and has the same rights and privileges ; and if you can interfere by the General Government, to regulate the question of the elective franchise in North Caro- lina, you may by the same power regulate the same question in Massachusetts and Ohio.
