What reading level is The Motives And Aims of the Soldiers of the South in the Civil War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That was the faith they had received from their fathers, from a long line of illustrious statesmen and political philosophers. Of this let one decisive ex- ample suffice. Though Robert E. Lee abhorred the idea of secession and loved the Union with a passionate devotion, yet when he was asked by a member of a committee of Congress whether he did not consider that he was guilty of treason in drawing his sword in behalf of the South, he answered : " No, I believed m)^ allegiance was due to the Sta...te of Virginia." The people of the South believed, as we have said, that gov- ernment derives its just powers from the consent of the governed.
The}' believed the General Government had no rightful power of coercion. Their New England brethren had for man}' years confirmed them in that belief. Moreover they believed a union by force not the Union which the fathers had in view. A gov- ernmental fabric pinned together by bayonets did not seem to them a republic, but a- despotism.
4th. I come now to consider the opinion, so widely held, that the South plunged into a desperate war for the purpose of perpet- uating slavery, and made that institution the cornerstone of the new confederacy which it sought to establish.
