Statehood day
Statehood Day
On the 21st day of August, 1959 hawaii was officially admitted as the 50th state. Till this day we continue to celebrate this special holiday. many people still believe that we shouldn't celebrate it. In my eyes as a 16 year old teenager i believe that we as a state should continue to celebrate this annual holiday. I believe that we should continue to celebrate this annual holiday because we are very fortunate to be the 50th state. With becoming the 50th state we are subject to the freedom and the luxuries becoming a state had to offer. With having freedom it came with the freedom to vote. Also we have our U.S. Representatives and our U.S. Senators that vote for us and represent us in congress. Another reason i believe we should continue to celebrate this magnificent holiday is because it is a remembrance of becoming a state. It was the day when we as a territory became a part of a bigger nation, apart of America. It was like being inducted into an elite group with the emission of the States. We became a part of a bigger family. On the other hand if we weren’t a state like we are today and we were under the hawaiian monarchy those who were born and raised here but have no hawaiian wouldn’t have the same rights as compared to those who were born and raised here in the islands and have hawaiian lineage. I believe that they wouldn’t have the same rights because we would have limited rights set by the monarchy. Those who have hawaiian and were born and raised here would have a small fraction of a say of what goes on and those who were born and raised her but have no hawaiian wouldn’t have a say at all. Its the same thing as having foreigners come to the islands, taking over the queen and setting all these different rules that are a custom to them and their needs. Therefore I would like us to continue to celebrate our statehood day because of what we gained in our government because we celebrate having a vote in our nation. It also gives us a
