William Randolph Hearst.
The Blood in Our Veins is a book by the Mexican journalist William Randolph Hearst published in Mexico City in 1897. Sobel notes that Hearst was the leading proponent in Mexico of the Moral Imperative, an ideology that held that it was the "moral imperative" of technologically advanced nations to bring "the blessings of civilization" to less advanced peoples. Based on the title, it is likely that Hearst believed and wrote that it was Mexico's Anglo minority in particular that had both a duty and a history of bringing civilization to lesser breeds, citing Jefferson's conquest of the Republic of Mexico and its imposition of democratic, constitutional government on the country's Mexicanos and Indians. Presumably Hearst supported Chief of State Benito Hermión's conquests of Guatemala and New Granada and annexation of Hawaii.
