What reading level is The Last Years of Daniel Webster: a Monograph book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I say, therefore, that Mr. Webster, who had always deprecated this unfortunate and unnecessary influence upon the Southern feel- ing in regard to slavery, was actuated by wise, far-seeing, and correct motives, when he regarded the fulfillment of the con- stitutional stipulation for the return of fugitives as essential to the security of the only condition in which the master could begin to contemplate the natural rights of the slave and his own best interests. Southern opinion about slavery was... in a wrong state, produced by causes that were extremely powerful, for one of which the North was solely responsible. Was it best to aggravate the operation of these causes, or was it best to re- move all of them that could be removed ? It seemed, and it was, a great individual hardship, that a man who had escaped from a bondage into which he was born, to a community where such bondage was unknown, should be carried back; but, as the slavery of the African race stood in the South in 1850, and looking at the only possible mode in which its ameliora- tion or extinction by peaceful means could then be hoped for, it was undoubtedly, in any comprehensive view of the subject, for the present and the ultimate interest of the great body of the colored race that the constitutional stipulation for the 29 return of fugitives should be faithfully fulfilled.
