Tough Guys“I want my war!”

• Social Darwinist
Theodore Roosevelt
• War was natural
“The great nations are rapidly absorbing…all the waste places of the earth. It is a movement which makes for civilization and the advancement of the race. As one of the great nations of the world, the United States must not fall out of the line of march”
-Henry Cabot Lodge

Social Darwinism•Survival of the “fittest” humans
•Eugenics
Scientific Racism - Skulls measurements “proved” superiority
“By the nearly unanimous consent of anthropologists this type [the pure Negro of central Africa] occupies the lowest position in the evolutionary scale…The attempt to suddenly transform the Negro mind by foreign culture must be as futile as the attempt would be to suddenly transform his physical type.”-
Encyclopedia Britannica, 1884

The White Man’s BurdenThe White Man’s BurdenBy: Rudyard Kipling, 1899 Take up the White Man's burden--Send forth the best ye breed--Go bind your sons to exile To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness,On fluttered folk and wild--Your new-caught, sullen peoples,Half-devil and half-child.
Take up the White Man's burden--In patience to abide,To veil the threat of terrorAnd check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,An hundred times made plainTo seek another's profit,And work another's gain.

REMEMBER THE MAINEMusic by Frank A. Bush
Down in Havana Harbor our good ship Maine was lying: Beneath the decks all were at rest, wakeful ones for home were sighing. Sent on a peaceful mission, no one suspected harm, For each one trusted the "Stars and Stripes" as a safeguard from all But hark! from below comes a loud, sudden pealing, alarm. And then an explosion that lights up the sky; Then when o'er the bay again silence comes stealing, Two hundred brave lads disappear without a cry.
Refrain. We'll never forget the sad events of that night. Our lads were killed, with no chance to fight; The foul deed was done by treach'rous Spain. That's why America fought and avenged the Maine.

HUNGRY, FRANTIC FLAMES. They Leap Madly Upon the Splendid Pleasure Palace by the Bay of Monterey, Encircling Del Monte in Their Ravenous Embrace From Pinnacle to Foundation. Leaping Higher, Higher, Higher, With Desperate Desire. Running Madly Riotous Through Cornice, Archway and Facade. Rushing in Upon the Trembling Guests with Savage Fury. Appalled and Panic-Striken the Breathless Fugitives Gaze Upon the Scene of Terror. The Magnificent Hotel and Its Rich Adornments Now a Smoldering heap of Ashes.
