Answer:
He supported self-government for all people.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mark Twain was strongly against the US imperialism, he published anti-imperialist writings from 1897 to 1902 and was against the Philippine War.
He defended that the US has always protested against the subjugation of the weak by the strong, and was doing the same with the Philippine War. Twain argument was that a self-governing state could not accept sovereignty over unwilling people.
“We hold, with Abraham Lincoln, that ‘no man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent.’ When the white man governs himself, that is self-government, but when he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more than self-government – that is despotism.
