To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The heroism, zeal, and marvellous success with which the founders of the Society labored, are without a parallel in his- tory. Upon its straightforward and honest platform, patri- otic men and statesmen of the country, without distinction of party, section, or sect, cordially worked together, keep- ing out of their deliberations all extraneous issues, and refrain- ing studiously from the exciting topics and controversies of the day: their sole aim and motive was the good of their country and of... the African race. By scrupulously following this conser- vative course, this Society founded a nation in Liberia; and in no other way could it have been done. More than that, this co-operation of eminent men from opposite sections served to cement a union of sentiment and feeling conservative of the country. When the Government of the United States', in enforcing the law against the slave-trade, captured a slave-ship, it was in a dilemma what to do with the recaptured Africans. It surely could not keep them here, whither they were brought by force ; nor could it return them to Africa, with the liability of their being sold into slavery again.
