To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I think I shall not be contradicted in point of fact when I say that during the Summer of last year, from the time the rebels laid down their arms until the meeting of Congress, the feehng ot the Southern States toward the National Gov- ernment was one of submission, of acquiescence, and of readmess to renew, in sincerity and in truth, their allegiance to the Constitution and Government of the United States. Now, what. Sir, has changed that temper, so far as it has been changed at all ? I think..., there is fair rea- son for behoving that when Congress assumed a hostile attitude, when it began to declare that the people of the South were not fit to take part in the Government, that they had forfeited all their right, and could not be admitted to repre- sentation, that they were conquered subjects, and fellow-citizens no longer ; when we began to give currency to hostUe and mischievous reports from the South, magnifying every instance of violence and of crime, charging them wholly to poUtical causes, and on the strength of those 18 allegations, entering npon hostile legislation, I think it not at all impossible that the effect of this action upon the Southern mind was first to arrest its loyal tendencies, and then to make it sullen, defiant and hostile.
