To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This nation was not designed to be, can not be, like anything which history has produced in the Old World. Providence does not go backward. You can not nail to-day into the coffin of yesterday, neither can you bind the spirit of American liberty with the shackles of past cen- turies, nor cramp its expanding powers into the old forms of decaying despotisms. It must develop itself according to its own law, and adjust its institutions to its peculiar wants and necessities. We have already regarded... ourselves as an out- lying province of the Old World too long. Our political in- 8 dependence has indeed been achieved, but we need a second emancipation ; and this war is securing it. When England and France turned away from us, we whimpered at first, like an overgrown child — but we shall be led thereby to assert an independent manhood. The sooner we think our own thoughts, and go our own ways, accepting the destiny as- signed us, and laboring in the freshness and vigor of a dis- tinct and newly created life, the better for us.
