To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every rebel- lion or insurrection is in reality a war, and it becomes more evidently such when it brings hundreds of thousands of men into the field ; still, it is only a rebellion, and the citizens of the rebellious portion are only rebellious citi- zens, over whom the Government jDossesses not only all its legal rights, but all those powers which a state of war confers upon it. As regards the United States, all the ordi- nances of secession were null and void, and the so-called southern confe...deracy was an entire and complete nullity, and the rebellious people may very properly have been treated as rebels and enemies. They may be tried as traitors and punished. The Supreme Court, in the prize cases, decided no more than this, that being engaged in a war with rebels the President had a right, jui'e belli, to blockade ports in posses- sion of States in rebellion, which neutrals were bound to regard. There is no intimation of an abrogated Constitution or an outside status. Had this question been before the court no doubt Justice Grier would have adhered to his own opinion in case of the pirates, in which Ihat eminent judge said: "Every Government is bound by the law of self- preservation to suppress insurrection, and the fact that the number of the insurgents may be so great as to carry on a civil war against their legitimate sov- ereign will not entitle them to be considered a State.
