To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Washington, Jefferson and Madison, all Virgini- ans, were undoubtedly opposed in theory to slavery, and looked forward to its ultimate extinction ; but they were practical statesmen, and they did not make any serious endeavors to surmount the intrin- sic difficulties of the subject, either in Virginia or Kentucky, where it was open to their legal and con- stitutional action, still less in southern territories through the federative government. They proba- bly were never able to see clearly any ...satisfactory method and means of giving effect to their desires, even in the infancy of the institution; and they wisely left it to itself until the people interested should feel themselves able to solve the problem. No men had more power to have changed the practi- cal policy and practical results which I have shown to be facts of our history. That policy grew up and matured its fruits during the period of their ad- ministrations, and of their unapproachable influ- ence over the public mind of this countr.y, without opposition or dissent from them, often with their concurrence.
