Use the passages below to answer all parts of the question that follows.
"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."
Rudyard Kipling, "The White Man's Burden," 1899
«The African has resisted, and persisted... But what the partial occupation of his soil by the white man has failed to do; what the mapping out of European political 'spheres of influence' has failed to do; what the maxim [a type of gun] and the rifle, the slave gang, labor in the bowels of the earth and the lash, have failed to do; what imported measles, smallpox, and syphilis have failed to do; what even the oversea[s] slave trade failed to do, the power of modern capitalistic exploitation, assisted by modern engines of destruction, may yet succeed in accomplishing.
For from the evils of the latter, scientifically applied and enforced, there is no escape for the African. ... It kills not the body merely, but the soul.... It wrecks his polity, uproots him from the land, invades his family life, destroys his natural pursuits and occupations, claims his whole time, enslaves him in his own home."
Edward D. Morel, The Black Man's Burden, 1920
