    The United States have made a variety of decisions over the years, not all of them good ones. There’s the oppression of Native Americans, the dehumanization of african americans, and the slave trade that persisted throughout much of it’s history, both pre and pro independence. But we’re not going to focus on any of that, terrible as it all is. We’re going to focus on Imperialism. Or, rather, that point in american history where we tried to do our best to find weaker nations that were struggling, take them over, and potentially do to them what we did to the aforementioned Native Americans. So prepare yourselves, my fellow americans and patriots, for an essay about some of the NEGATIVE impacts of American Imperialism, specifically in Hawaii.…

    One of the territories he considered buying were the Hawaiian Islands. During the early 1800's, missionaries from the United States went to Hawaii to try to convert people to Christianity. Their descendents started sugar plantations. The planters conquered Hawaii's financial system by the late 1800's. The Queen thought that the planters had too much authority. So, she thought that she should try to limit their power. Meanwhile, in the United States, the trade laws were changed to support sugar grown completely in American states. The American planters that lived in Hawaii were upset that they had changed the law not to their advantage. In 1893 the planters rebelled. They overthrew Queen Liliuokalani and arranged their own regime. After that, they asked the States to annex them into the US. When the president at the time, which was President Benjamin Harrison, heard the planters demand he approved and sent the treaty to the Senate. But Grover Cleveland became the president before the Senate could act on the treaty. He withdrew the treaty because he thought…

    Essay On Hawaii Culture

    • 726 Words
    • 3 Pages

    “The Aloha State” was annexed to the United States in 1959, but its history can be dated back centuries earlier. Approximately 1,500 years ago, Polynesians from the Marquesas Islands first set foot in Hawaii. Hawaiian culture, a mixture of many Polynesian traditions, flourished over the centuries. The arrival of Captain James Cook, Protestant missionaries, and European diseases in the late 18th and early 19th centuries stunted the growth and development of the native Hawaiian population. Western influence continued to grow and by 1893, American colonists, who controlled much of Hawaii's economy, overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom. Although many natives died in the hustle of their history, their culture lived on. When on vacationing in Hawaii, tourists can experience the vibrancy of the Hawaiian culture firsthand.…
