<span>By the criteria of Americans of that day, who knew nothing about "political correctness," it was entirely justifiable.  They believed that their system was the best that had ever been invented and that it should be spread throughout the world without delay.  (This is one of the reasons they supported foreign missionaries and "filibustering" expeditions.)  The easiest way to spread it, obviously, was into contiguous regions, and thence into regions contiguous to those, and so on.  One Congressman stated that he hoped to live to see the day when the Speaker of the House would recognize "the member from Canada, from Cuba, even the gentleman from Patagonia!"</span>

Explanation:

Red tapism is one of the things that have led many bureaucrats to simply cover up the traces of their questionable deeds in tucked away files that are only revealed after 30 or 40 years.

This makes it difficult for the public to assess them in terms of the information they have as the information that reaches is generally inaccurate and incomplete.

List three factors that that caused Africa to become a growing source of slaves for the slave trade
Gwar [14]

: The Europeans who did most of the transportation of slaves from Africa viewed then as godless heathens and therefore a non-human in a way which gave them justification to exploit them for labor while "trying" to teach them about god.
