Fiction often mimics truth. After the Spanish War, reporters at the White House asked McKinely what he intended to do about the Philippines. He provided a lot of platitudes about democracy and modern life, and then said that they intended to bring christianity to the islands. One reporter said: "But, Mr. President, the Philippines are Catholic." McKinley replied: "Exactly."
