Welcoming America to the world of adult responsibility among the nations, Kipling writes of :
‘...the White Man’s work, the business of introducing a sane and orderly administration to the dark places of the earth that lie to your hand.’

Kipling’s White Man’s Burden (1899)
TAKE up the White Man's burden - Send forth the best ye breed Go bind your sons to exileTo serve your captives' need;To wait in heavy harnessOn fluttered folk and wild -Your new-caught sullen peoples,Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Man's burden - In patience to abideTo veil the threat of terrorAnd check the show of pride;By open speech and simple,An hundred times made plain,To seek another's profit,And work another's gain.
