Question

What do you imagine would have happened if Sir Francis Galton's eugenics movement had succeeded have any instances of eugenics-like procedures occurred in the United States? Explain

Answer 1

I believe that if Sir Francis Galton’s eugenics movement had succeeded, the Untied States would perhaps witness a situation similar to what occurred in Germany during the Nazi rule. I would imagine that individuals with “superior” traits would be identified and encouraged to procreate only with other members of this category. At the same time, those identified with supposedly “inferior” traits would perhaps be ostracized from society or murdered in mass numbers altogether.
