it was a chance for the slaves to become catholics.
Rudyard Kipling's concept of the "white man's burden" was a call for Western powers, particularly the United States and European nations, to take up the responsibility of governing and civilizing non-Western peoples. He framed this burden as a moral obligation to bring progress, education, and Christianity to what he viewed as "lesser" cultures. This idea was often used to justify imperialism and colonialism, suggesting that it was a noble endeavor to uplift those deemed inferior. Ultimately, it reflected the paternalistic attitudes of the time towards colonized nations.
In 1532 a noted legal scholar wrote that it could not, and Native American's today still believe this. However the majority, white people, ignore these things or find arbitrary reasons to justify the actions (akin to someone trying to justify the enslavement of blacks in early American history).
Herbert Spencer's theories, particularly his application of Darwinian concepts to society, were used to justify imperialism through the idea of "survival of the fittest." He argued that stronger nations had a natural right to dominate weaker ones, suggesting that imperialism was a beneficial process for civilization's progression. This belief in the superiority of certain cultures reinforced a moral justification for colonial expansion, portraying it as a means of uplifting "lesser" societies. Consequently, Spencer's ideas contributed to a framework that rationalized the exploitation and subjugation of colonized peoples.
