I think at the time America truly had believed that this was justified. I think at first they thought it would be a good thing, and that they were helping. Once they started having people rebelling it should have been pretty obvious that they should leave the Philippines. However they did not, and many died. In the end it was not justified looking from the outside of the event.

A burden is a issue you have to deal with even if you don't want to.The burden explained in the book is more of a responsibility instead of an issue. It basically means since all the white males are the best race at the time, they have a responsibility to help out all the lower races. The author Kipling believes that imperialism is a very good thing. He believes that it is helping out the underdeveloped people in different countries. He believes that people in other countries should follow the American culture, because their culture is wrong. This isn't correct because the American culture at the time still was not a good thing. Because we still couldn't treat the African Americans correctly. He probably has gotten this idea of imperialism from just having grown up in America. I think Kipling's view of imperialism is biased. because having grown up in America all his ideas are based around his country and that it's the best. I don't agree with this. Because America may ave been beginning to develop in the right direction, but we still lacked taking care of other people besides whites.

In this picture a woman symbolizing justice is pulling a curtain open. It reveals African Americans in our country being treated inhumanely. The other guy represents our president at the time, McKinley.  Is looking at a map that is the Philippines. This all ties in at the bottom of the the picture when it says "Civilization begins at home". This means in order to be humane to other countries we have to start with our own. Since at the time we were not able to accept different looking people. There was no way we could take over other countries. However we did and wouldn't let people keep their different culture we forced other countries to be just like us. It just caused more death and troubles in the end.

Uncle Sam wearing the striped clothing and handing very similar looking clothing to his own to a naked Hispanic wearing a sombrero. This appears that he is helping out the boy by giving him clothes. The boy looks curious and not upset. This shows that he is ok with this. If the Hispanic buy was t accept the clothes he would be changing his culture by wearing American clothing instead of Cuba's normal clothing This makes it a positive imperialism cartoon.
