To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The inter ests of the whole country required the extinction of the title of Spain, whose authority over that country was so slight, that she had abandoned it almost entirely to bands of savages, who, led on by unprincipled adventurers, were giving constant annoyance and doing serious injury to the Union in many of its most essential interests. Besides, we gave for Florida other southern territory, more important to Spain because more convenient to her other possessions on this continent; and th...us by its acquisition we did not in any degree add to the extent of southern territory. And when it was proposed to annex Texas to our Union Texas, which once was part of that Union did not the North* as well as the South speak out boldly in her behalf, and demand her annexation on grounds of high State policy ? Our soundest statesmen regarded her annexation as essential to the peace and welfare and power of the Union. Foreign nations took the same view, and England and France exhausted all the arts of diplomacy to prevent this great result.
