What reading level is The Life of Jefferson Davis book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Years before, the legis lation of Congress assumed that sectional bias, which was un- deviatingly adhered to for the purpose, and with ample suc cess, of the material depression of the South. Under the baleful influences of hostile legislation, of tariffs aimed directly at her commercial prosperity, of bounties for fostering multi farious Northern interests, her position in the Union was help less and deplorable in the extreme. Yet, like a rock-bound Prometheus, with the insidious elements of d...estruction gnaw ing at her vitals, the South suffered herself to be chained by an influence of sentiment, of association, and reminiscence to the Union, fully conscious of the growing rapacity of her despoiler and of her own hopeless decline. Her infatuation was indeed marvelous, in trusting to the dawning of justice and gener osity in a fierce, vindictive, and remorseless sectional majority.
The alarming portents of ultimately complete material pros tration, to be consummated by these perversions of the pur poses of the Union, were terribly significant, in view of the A CLEAR STATEMENT OF THE CONTROVERSY.
