Else, we retain the Englishman’s view of History, written through Kipling’s eye …,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rudyard Kipling, \u201cThe White Man\u2019s Burden\u201d (1899)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kipling urged the Americans to adopt England’s value based Rule of India as the United States waged war against ‘Filipino insurgents’, fighting for Independence after having worsted Spain’s Rule for over 300 years.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take up the White Man\u2019s burden\u2014
Send forth the best ye breed\u2014
Go send your sons to exile
To serve your captives\u2019 need
To wait in heavy harness
On fluttered folk and wild\u2014
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child
Take up the White Man\u2019s burden<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
