To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has been so ordered that this question has been settled by the adjudication of the sword. All other issues were incidental to this grand issue. The right of a State to secede was affirmed ; the right of a State to secede was denied. The decision was left to the dread arbitrament of war. The result is the triumph of the national sover- eignty, not over State rights, but over State assump- tions. Henceforth it is decreed, that grievances arising 2 10 within the Union, must be settled within th...e Union. Yet, notwithstanding the successful assertion of the National supremacy, the sovereignty of the States is unimpaired. The war was not needful to curtail the constitutional rights of a State, but to define and en- force them ; not to make the sovereignty of the State less, but the supremacy of the Nation more. Heretofore some extremists have boasted that they were citizens of a particular State of the United States ; henceforth the glory of an American will be that though a resident of a particular State, he is a citizen of the United States.
