What reading level is Robert E Lee in Memoriam a Tribute of Respect Offered By the Citizens of Lou book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He had devoted himself ardently to the cause of the Union ; and his counsels in the first moments of irresolution had given purpose, plan, and nerve to the alarmed administration. He urged General LEE by every induce ment that could fire the ambition of a soldier and by every persuasion friendship could suggest to remain in the Federal army, assuring him that it would be placed under his supreme command; but all was in vain. LEE with gentle dignity arose and said, "Ah! General, would you, my fr...iend, who know me so well, think to tempt me?" and left him forever.
It is not my purpose, upon an occasion like the present, to examine or eulogize the military genius displayed by General LEE in the cam paigns in Virginia. The historian may hereafter record and the student read the annals of the war, in which the small and badly equipped armies of the Confederacy defeated and humiliated for four years the multitudinous hosts of their enemies. The motives, the sacrifices, the sufferings, and the splendid victories of a brave people will yet be commemorated by learning and genius; but the events are too recent and the animosities too great to permit the facts to be considered in our time with impartiality or profit.
