What reading level is The War to End Only When the Rebellion Ceases book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" It did not seem jjossible. We were not up to it in our morals, our politics, our finances, our self-confidence. We aimed at the preserva- tion of the Union and tlie Constitution, and the enforcement of the Laws. Those who would gladly have hoped for what has now come did not dare to do so. The people of the North were not supposed by any calm and cai'eful mind to be at all ready to contemplate so radical a dealing with their difiiculty. Most slowly and reluctantly did Congress contemplate a c...onfiscation policy, an Emancipation act — or any course looking to extinction of the Slave power, or seizure of the constitutional rights alleged still to belong to Rebel States. We could none of us believe that the Rebels abjured these rights ; that they did not still contemplate and desire reiinion upon some terms — a little better for them perhaps, but not very much worse for us, than the old ones. And so we went on, calling out our forces in driblets, coining our paper-money by installments, and always ready for expected propositions of peace; — until by degrees, Providence seems to have committed the free powers and instincts of the Ameri- can people, to a decisive and final conflict with the Slave power and its instincts — a conflict in which one must be left forever dead upon the field.
