About This Quote

The sinking of the Titanic was a metaphor for the way the British empire treated the people in Africa, India and other places. The government did not care about these people and they did things that were against their will. This is what the American society was heading towards after World War II. The United States no longer had any morals and was out to enslave other countries.
