Transcription English Translation
Betreffs der Philippinen äußerte sich Mark Twain wie folgt: „Ich bildete mir ein, es sei die Absicht Amerikas gewesen, die Filipinos von dem spanischen Joche zu erlösen und nicht, die selben mit Gewalt zu unterjochen.“ Viele andere Personen hatten dieselbe Ansicht. Concerning the Philippines, Mark Twain said: “I imagined it was the intention of America to redeem the Filipinos from the Spanish yoke, and not to subjugate the same by force.” Many other people held the same view.
