What reading level is The Johnson Party volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When we see such outrages on common sense gravely perpetrated by so eminent a lawyer as the one who drew up the committee's Report, one is almost inclined to define minds as of two kinds, the legal mind and the human mind, and to doubt if there is any possible connection in reason between the two. To the human mind it appears that the Federal government has spent thirty-five hundred millions of dollars, and sacrificed three hundred thousand lives, in a contest which the legal mind dissolves int...o a mere mist of unsubstantial phrases ; and by skill in the trick of substituting words for things, and definitions for events, the legal mind proceeds to show- that these words and definitions, though scrupulously shielded from any contact with realities, are sufficient to prevent the nation from taking or- dinary precautions against the recuiTcnoe of calamities fresh in its bitter experience. The phrase " State Rights, " translated from legal into human language, is found to mean, the power to commit \ATongs on individuals whom States may desire to oppress, or the power to protect the inhabitants of States from the consequences of their own crimes.
