To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The effect, therefore, of the Northern measures of abolition was, for the most part, simply to transfer Northern slaves to Southern markets. In this way, by an easy process, without incurring any social danger, nnd at slight pecuniary loss, the Northern States got rid of slavery. The problem of enfranchisement in the South is of a very different character. Slavery, instead of being, as it always was in the North, but one, and an unimportant one, among many modes of industry, is there virtually ...the sole industrial instrument : instead of comju-ising an insignificant fraction of the whole population, it comprises throughout the whole South one-third, and in some States one-half: it numbers altogether four millions of peoj)le : lastly, the South is wholly without that easy means of shultting off slavery which its own markets provided tor the North. The two cases are thus wdioUy unlike, and the sponta- neous disapjiearance of slavery from the Northern section of the Union gives little ground to hope for a similar result in the present Slave States.
