What reading level is The Western Reserve And the Fugitive Slave Law : a Prelude to the Civil War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That is not 'due process of law.' If any person is arrested under this act, upon the war- rant of any commissioners, he should be immediately taken before a State Judge upon habeas corpus, by whom some of the provisions of the act can be adjudicated to be unconstitu- tional. Congress cannot suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, except in cases of rebellion, or invasion. It is the right of every man to have this; and no judge can refuse to allow it, without the most severe penalty...." ' * * '"Out! d d Spot!' This quotation from Macbeth will apply with as much ap- propriateness to the late fugitive law, as it did in its original utterance to that black spot of guilt which the wicked mur- derer in the play could not wash out.
* * * * "The institution of slavery is an anomaly in civilized gov- ernments, an exception to liberty everywhere, and a most out- rageous contradiction to our pretensions as a Model Republic.
It was barely sufferable in this country sixty years ago, and unfortunately recognized in one of the compromises of the Constitution.
