What reading level is The American Birthright And the Philippine Pottage : a Sermon Preached On Thanksgiving Day, 1898 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whatever objections there may be to taking such territories under our flag, there is at least no flagrant violation of American princi- ples. No one can say that these islands are annexed absolutely without hope or prospect of their ever becoming a real part of the republic. There is at least some shadow of resemblance between their annexation and the process by which the contiguous territories of Texas and Louisiana were acquired, civilized and incor- porated into the Union. The shadow is very... thin, to be sure, but it is perceptible.
But in the case of the Philippines there is a glaring difference. No man of intelligence ventures to deny it; many openly rejoice in the difference. The proposal to annex, by force, or purchase, or forcible purchase, these distant, unwilling and semi-barbarous islands is hailed as a new and glorious departure in American history. A new word — imperialism — has been coined to define it.
It is frankly confessed that it involves a departure from ancient traditions; it is openly boasted that it leaves the counsels of Washington and Jeflferson far behind us for- ever.
