Primary Account 1: Speech by Jules Ferry, prime minister of France, 1884
“Gentlemen, we must speak more loudly and more honestly! We must say openly that indeed the higher races have a right over the lower races. . . . I repeat, that the superior races have a right because they have a duty. They have the duty to civilize the inferior races. . . . In the history of earlier centuries these duties, gentlemen, have often been misunderstood, and certainly when the Spanish soldiers and explorers introduced slavery into Central America, they did not fulfill their duty as men of a higher race. . . . But in our time, I maintain that European nations acquit themselves with generosity, with grandeur, and with the sincerity of this superior civilizing duty.”
Primary Account 2: Rudyard Kipling, “The White Man’s Burden,” 1898
“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.”
