To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Everywhere we meet on nearly equal terms, where we might well have four to one. The cost to us in blood and treasure, of a prolonged war, can hardly be foreseen : the economy is infinite of such an effort as the glorious Xorth should put forth. The South will fight as long as the struggle is equal — it will submit to such preponderance as we should show on every field. Glance at the summer's campaigns. If Sherman had but 50, 000 or To, 000 more men, the South would be lost, because Hood would b...e annihilated. If Meade had moved in the spring with reserves of 75, 000 to 100, 000 men, Lee Avould have been hoj^elessly crushed. Even at this moment, a third column of 40, 000 to 50, 000, rightly moved, would give unopposed blows to the Confederacy, from which she could never rise. What folly, then, to struggle on in this way, when we can send to the field five times the force already there. What weakness, to think we cannot conquer the South. Behind the James, only boys and old men are to be seen, while here men buy and sell as in the olden days of quiet, and resfiments of able-bodied citizens crowd the streets of our cities.
