What reading level is The Present Crisis a Speech volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That once is too much. The work of freedom must be accomplished without and in spite of them. No oath of allegiance can purify them. Our country — the civilized / world, does not want their counsels. Their return would be an eternal disgrace to us. It would humiliate us in the eyes of all foreign powers. It would bring back all our controversy, paralyze all our efforts, overthrow all that we have accomplished, dishonor the white man, and enslave the black man. The freemen of the North and the b...ondmen of the South protest against it. May we forever avoid this snare. (Applause. ) Now, what is there on the other side ? It is simply this. I would hold the revolted states by the power of the Federal authority, — that power which we have strengthened and confirmed by this war. The first gun fired at Sumter knocked down the institution of slavery, and dispelled for- ever all the fallacies and sophistries accumulated for years under the names of State Rights and State Sovereignty. I do not mean any invasion of the legitimate rights of a state, — but of that superlative folly which has been represented by the flag of South Carolina and the sacred soil of Virginia.
