To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Now, Sir, so far from those State governments having been organized by the loyal people, they were organized by the disloyal ; every office passed into the hands of a Rebel ; the Union men had no part or lot in those governments, and so far from answering the purpose for which governments are intended, they failed to extend protection to the loyal men, either white or black. The loyal men were murdered with impunity, and I will thank any Senator upon this floor to point to a single case in an...y of the Rebel States where a Rebel has been tried and brought to punishment by the civil authority for the murder of a Union man. Not one case, I am told, can be found. Those governments utterly failed in answering the purpose of civil governments ; and not only that, but they returned the colored people to a condition of quasi slavery ; they made them the slaves of society, instead of being, as they . Were before, the slaves of individuals. Under various forms of vagrant laws, they deprived them of the rights of freemen, and placed them under the power and control of their Rebel masters, who were filled with hatred and revenge.
