Imperialists around the world used ideas of racial, national, and cultural superiority to justify imperialism. One of these ideas was Social Darwinism which was the belief that life consists of competitive struggles in which only the fittest survive. Social Darwinists felt that certain nations and races were superior to others and therefore destined to rule over inferior peoples and cultures. In an 1899 interview president McKinley explained "We could not give (the Philippines) back to Spain- that would be cowardly and dishonorable." instead he argued that the United States had no choice but to "take them all, and educate the Filipinos, and uplift and civilize...them.".
The "Day of Infamy" speech given by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 8th 1941, was given in front of the US Congress. His goal in giving this speech was to explain what happened and Pearl Harbor and ,more importantly, ask for Congress permission to declare war on Japan.
It is clear that this speech is supposed to paint the Japanese military in a negative light, as FDR calls the attack "cowardly" and "dastardly." Along with this, he is trying to invoke a sense of patriotism among the Congress, as this attack killed American soldiers/citizens. His speech rallies Congress behind this cause and results in Congress approving of war with Japan.
