There are many reasons why Americans would be drawn to Social Darwinism. These Americans could be intrigued by the concepts it presents.
The danger of Social Darwinism is that many might accept this as a true scientific principle, when it is not. Social Darwinism is a deliberate distortion of Charles Darwin's theory of the evolution of the species, that applies the principles to human beings in a way that justifies racism and imperialism.
Social Darwinism
NO. Beveridge was known as a strong Imperialist and actively supported American expansion and Imperialism. His arguments were very similar to Rudyard Kipling's "White Man's Burden" and Social Darwinism in terms of why he justified the expansion of American power.

social darwinism
Social Darwinism is the belief that the principles of natural selection and survival of the fittest apply to human societies, just as they do in nature. It was used to justify imperialism by claiming that stronger nations had the right to dominate and exploit weaker nations as part of a natural order of progress. This theory provided a moral justification for imperialistic actions by framing them as a way to advance the superior civilization.
Social Darwinism is a idea that is similar to survival of the fittest. They used this idea to and divide preexisting areas or territories.
Social Darwinism was used to justify imperialism by arguing that the strongest nations should conquer weaker ones in order to ensure their survival and dominance. This belief system provided a moral justification for the exploitation and colonization of other societies, leading to increased competition for resources and territories among colonial powers. Ultimately, social Darwinism fueled the expansion of empires and the subjugation of indigenous peoples in the name of progress and civilization.
Europeans believed they should conquer other lands to help those places become industrialized.
Social Darwinism i like the evolution of humans. It states that the most fittest will continue to survive and reproduce, like survival of the fittest. I guess the effect of it on imperialism is that people want to be on top so they tried to conquer all they could to get all the valuables in those places they've conquered and so they can be the fittest.
