The unit of measurement from the british empire the "US unit" was based on. Very similar but with some differences. The pint, and therefore the gallon, is smaller in US than imperial units.
America took the british imperial unit, made the pint smaller because they can't handle their drink and called it "american" so that using any other standard of measurement would be unpatriotic.

There was no piracy or anarchy in Somalia when the British and the Italians were in power there. Imperialism at work.

As one elderly Sudanese man asked a British journalist:
"Why did you leave us?"
Once again, we see imperialism at work. - the Sudan was better off under British rule.

India today has a parliamentary government, nominal equality under the law, a modern and Western economy, education system, and military. Barbaric practices such as having living wives thrown onto their husbands' funeral pyres are no longer practiced. All these things are benefits of imperialism
