To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His name will pass into history, not merely as the "honest" Abraham Lincoln, but as the divine statesman of America, the second Father of his Country, and the great moral hero of the nineteenth cen- tury. Future generations will build their monuments to grace and perpetuate his memory. It is quite unnecessary for us to do it; for his name is already sacredly embalmed in the hearts of his countrymen. In conclusion, let us pause a moment and contemplate the great moral results of this mysterious ...event. Mysterious, we say; for no man can give a proper solution to the cause of this foul assassination. Whether it was to mortify the 16 THE PEOPLE'S KEEPSAKE, pride of the nation, by prematurely removing its Chief Ex- ecutive, or to distract public attention so as to gain time in the desperate struggle to continue the rebellion, or to secure for the rebels themselves better and more advantageous terms of peace, none can tell. We have attributed it, in the main, to a diabolical determination on the part of the conspirators not to conform to wholesome rule an} r longer, or perhaps to the more wicked purpose not to submit at all to any terms of peace till after the President had been violently disposed of.
