Social+Darwinism



American William Graham Sumnerand **R**Englishman Herbert Spencer  created a philosophy called Social Darwinism after Darwin's Death. Social Darwinism believed that all life had improved by a process of "natural selection," in which only the fittest could survive to reproduce. People who followed this belief thought it was good for the society to interfere with competition as little as possible.
