Hi there!

The answer is <u>D, The imperial powers believed that they were spreading a superior culture in Africa and Asia.</u>

The reason why the imperial powers believed that they were spreading a superior culture in Africa and Asia can be found in the text in phrases like <u><em>Send forth the best ye breed</em></u> which implies that they should send the best "breed" of people (which they consider to be white people), to be send to Africa and Asia to do services for a group of prisoners. Additionally, as we can see in the first lines of this poem, the writer capitalizes the words <em><u>white man</u></em> throughout the poem, giving us a clear idea of how superior they thought white men were.

Therefore, the answer to this question is option D. The imperial powers believed that they were spreading a superior culture in Africa and Asia.

Which of the following best describes Daniel Webster’s views?
VARVARA [1.3K]

I believe the answer is: A-he disagreed with slavery but supported compromise

Daniel Webster was known as the leading supporter for Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 that required federal officials to capture and punish slaves that were running away. Because of this Webster was viciously attacked by the abolitionist because he agreed to the compromise rather than fully eliminated slavery.
