Question

The excerpt is from an African American poem called “The Black Man’s Burden.”

Pile on the Black Man’s Burden.
'Tis nearest at your door;
Why heed long bleeding Cuba,
or dark Hawaii’s shore?
Hail ye your fearless armies,
Which menace feeble folks
Who fight with clubs and arrows
and brook your rifle’s smoke.
–H.T. Johnson, The Black Man’s Burden, 1899

Cuba and Hawaii could benefit most from imperialism.
Imperialist armies are easily repelled by native armies.
