Answer:
In this quote, Senator Albert Beveridge tries to convince Congress about the importance of the American Imperialism and to support the spread of "civilization" through the Globe.

Step-by-step explanation:
The March of the Flag is an emotive and strong speech. On it, Albert Beveridge explains how is important to control the Philippines. He doesn't speak about the spread of Christianity or civilization but is clear between lines that this was also an objective. Beveridge emphasizes that the Philippines is a good place, a fertile terrain that could bring several benefits to the United States, and in the same way, Americans would offer several opportunities and benefits to that island. To convince Congress, Beveridge uses God's will as a reason. He claims that the Philippines under America control was God's desire.
