Kipling clearly liked the idea of enslaving the people of one Asian country on the other side of the world. The White Man's Burden was written with the sole intention of persuading Americans not to give freedom to the Philippines. On the other hand the political cartoon is obviously is showing that the white man is carrying all other races on his back, and that without him they wouldn't prosper.

Explanation:

  • This poem was once very popular. It was written in 1899, at a time when Filipinos were fighting for independence from the United States of America. Many readers today are probably not aware of the fact that the United States colonized the Philippines.
  • Poem is, by modern standards, extremely offensive. The author calls the population of another race "freshly caught, frowned upon people" who are "half devil and half children." He criticizes them for not accepting white people as "better than themselves" and those who "brought them to the light of day" by colonization.
  • "White man's burden" is a term synonymous with English imperialism and racism in the English-speaking world today.

Explain Wallace's rationale for keeping races separate in America?
wolverine [178]
<span> </span>

Wallace defended segregation and this were his main arguments:

<span>-The Constitution did not require white and African American children to attend the same schools.
-Social separation of blacks and whites was a regional custom; the states should be left free to regulate their own social affairs. 
-Segregation was not harmful to black people. 
-Whites were making a good faith effort to equalize the two educational systems. But because black children were still living with the effects of slavery, it would take some time before they were able to compete with white children in the same classroom. 

Hope this helps!! :)
