The southern(who were previously Confederate) states all wrote new Constitutions and swore loyalty to the Union by 1877. Also, the 13th amendment(which states no slavery n<span>or involuntary servitude</span> is allowed unless punishment... in u.s.), 14th amendment(forbids states to restrict simple rights of citizens etc,), and 15th amendment(citizens in U.S. cannot be denied due to race, color, etc. to vote) were acknowledged and remained after the reconstruction. Former slaves also had a new life ahead of them: they could now be educated, choose who they wanted to marry, and choose jobs. Unfortunately, the reconstruction didn't heal African American/ white man wounds; and even though there were laws for equality, for many upcoming years, many black people still had many problems with white people who still believed they were somehow superior.
Taking into account the statement above:
"Colonies were mostly run for the benefit of mother countries, but some people believed the colonial system helped everyone because it spread European civilization. How does Kipling feel about colonialism? Write three to four sentences, using the poem to support your answer."
The answer is:
This poem implies that "Western powers" had an obligation to bring technology and Western civilization to other parts of the world. This idea is stated in the phrase "to serve your captives' need." Kipling believes this work is thankless and that the subjects may even hate or place blame on the colonial power.
Hope this helps.
