::::::RJensen, I'm not going to argue with you. Rhodes is clearly making value judgements in the passage you quote. That is not unbiased historical writing, and it's not trying to be. Please, pretty please with sugar on it, leave your politics off Wikipedia and let it be a repository of facts. You think Rhodes was right, that's great. Good for you. But he is not simply reporting what happened, he's assigning it a moral value. That is better written on an editorial site, which this is not. Surely you can see that?
