To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" It is not a little strange that Dr. Franklin and his associates should have been so igno- rant of the Constitution, aud what it was made for, and of the sentiment of the times, as not to have known that it was intended to recog- nise and perpetuate human slavery, and that, in point of fact, it regarded slaves as property, and incapable of being made citizens by any power in the country. Instead of knowing the facts now asserted by Judge Taney as the basis of a judicial decision, they even sup...- posed (so friendly, in their view, was that in- strument to liberty) that Congress might in some way "countenance" the abolition of sla- very. That Virginia was in no wise behind Penn- sylvania in her desire for the abolition of sla- very, in her sense of its injustice, and in her advocacy of the rights of human nature, is of common knowledge, derived from the citations so often made from the writings of Washing- ton, Jefferson, Madison, Patrick Henry, Tuck- er, Wythe — indeed, of all her great names of the Revolutionary period.
