To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The men of that day — the patriots of the Revolution — were deeply sensible of the evil. No where can more eloquent denunciations of it be found than in their speeches and writings. They would, with one blow, have 8 stricken the institution from existence, if they could have done so. But the disease was too deep seated to be removed by violent measures. They resorted to milder means. They adopted such a system of rqpasures as they thought would lead to a gradual restriction and curtailment, and... a final abolition of the evd. The statesmen of that day would have been shocked beyond measure at the open advocacy of the extension of slavery into free territory. Sir, no man can read the history of that period, down to the adoption of the Fed- eral Constitution, without being forcibly impressed with the strong opposition to slavery which then existed with the public men of this country, both South and North. The history of the ordinance of 1787, so frequently referred to in the dis- cissions here, furnishes ample evidence of that fact.
