Answer:
This is a metaphor to be good to those in power. That means respect your government, teachers, and parents, despite your personal beliefs. I'm guessing a pastor would be most likely to quote this passage.
Explanation:

The darker side of Populism and Progressiveness
<u>Explanation:</u>
The Ku Klux Klan popularly known as the KKK emerged during the 1920’s. The KKK was a secret society which then grew up to a big driving force reversing the federal government’s Reconstruction. They all were whites of middle class who were racists.
They were terrorizing the Afro-Americans, Republicans by murdering them and causing destruction to their properties. They brain washed the fellow white Americans to believe that the KKK was doing the best by conducting pageants and social gatherings. Hence it gained its utmost popularity drawing many people towards them.
Josiah Strong was an American who believed in the 'moral superiority' of the Anglo-Saxon race and that it had a duty to teach the so-called 'inferior' peoples of other lands how to live and that the US should expand its sphere of influence across the world. On the other hand Emilio Aguinaldo of the Philippines fought against the Spaniards alongside the US to rid his country of the Spanish colonialists but then had to organize the Philippine people against the US which tried to take over from Spain, and he used the same logic as the original American revolutionaries who fought against British colonialism. Personally, I think US imperialism is bad because it seeks to control other sovereign countries like Cuba and Venezuela and refuses to recognize their territorial integrity and right to govern their countries as their people see fit. It just wants governments that cater to their economic plunder and that ignore the needs of the majority of their people but couches it in "respect for human rights" etc which basically means only the so-called human rights of the exploiters of the countries ie the right to make maximum profits at the expense of the vast majority of the people.
