The White man's burden

The white mans burden is the power of the white men over the other men.I don't think I can agree width the poem because it is type racist but i can agree that no one should have a greater freedom or power over someone else because the color of their skin.Today we are'nt living under the white mans burden but some people still feel treated unequally and and some people are still racis.

The Meiji Restoration of Japan was a trade treaty made by japan allowing the U.S.to trade with them. In the year of 1853 under the command of commodore mathew perry the United states sent many ships to japan on a sucessful mission to stop the nations self-imposed isolation and lead the nation into a generation of barter.
