    The sugar growing industry is where the annexation of Hawaii started to begin or was the root cause of the annexation. In 1890 Congress approved the McKinley Tariff; this tariff raised the rates on sugar being imported into the United States from foreign countries.

The American sugar farmers knew if the islands were to be annexed by the United States, then the tariff would be no longer needed.…

    Hawaiian Monarchy Persuasive Essay

    The concept of owning land was a completely new idea for the Hawaiian people. This "land ownership" idea was a major demand from foreigners. To the Hawaiian people, land belonged to the gods. People were not meant to own land, just care for it. Foreigners were very frustrated with the fact that they needed permission from the king to build a house, church, etc… Even then it could be revoked and the house or church would be ripped to the ground. Some of these foreigners acted as they did own the land that they lived on and expected their home governments to back them up. On November 16th, 1836 British war ships came to Hawaii with a treaty attempting to solve the land disagreements.…

    In January 1778, James Cook of Britain made his first visit to the Hawaiian Islands. He was the first European to ever visit the island group, which he named the Sandwich Islands in honor of one of his patrons, John Montague, the Earl of Sandwich. The ships then made a brief stop at Ni'ihau, the seventh largest of the inhabited Hawaiian Islands, and headed north to look for the western end of a northwest passage from the North Atlantic to the Pacific. Almost one year later, Cook's two ships returned to the Hawaiian Islands and found a safe harbor in Hawaii's Kealakekua Bay.…

    Imperialism In Hawaii

    In response to her people, she started working on a constitution that would place power back in the hands of the monarchy, and restore the native’s ability to vote. The businessmen on the island, most prominently Sanford B. Dole, seized power, and imprisoned queen Liliuokalani. The business people wanted Hawaii annexed from the US. This would remove taxes on imports from Hawaii, and put a large sum of money in the hands of Dole and his cohorts. Up until that point, Hawaii had enjoyed a tariff free favoured trade status, thanks to a treaty signed in 1875. The McKinley tariff in 1890 drastically raised the price of…

    American Imperialism in the late 1800s.

    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…

    Pros of the Overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy

    My topic was about the pro’s of the overthrow of the monarchy. A few of the reasons why the overthrow of the monarchy was good was because Hawaii started to become multi-cultural . Being multi-cultural can be looked upon as good if you see it as a way to diversify our cultures. Not to many states are as diversified as Hawaii which is special, some people are only one race like me but a lot of people here are a combination of many different ethnicities like Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiian, Samoan, black, and white this combination of all the ethnicities is what makes the people here that live in Hawaii unique.…

    U.S. Foreign Policy from 1890-1914

    The United States' involvement in trade with China made the importance of Hawaii and the Samoan islands evident. These islands acted as a stop for ships in the midst of their journey to Asia. American influence on the islands existed by America's growing population settling there. For these two reasons, the United States' navy looked at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as a permanent naval base and Pago Pago in Samoa. American settlers in Hawaii gradually drew the power away from Hawaiian leaders causing struggles for power. King Kamehameha became dominant over rival Hawaiian communities and acted hospitable toward American merchants. American trade with Asia flourished causing missionaries to travel through Hawaii and William Hooper of Boston to establish sugar plantations there, with many Asian immigrants working them. Americans' presences in Hawaii halved the Hawaiian population through disease and destroyed their religion and culture. In 1898, a disputed annexation of Hawaii was confirmed to restore a dwindling situate in the sugar trade. America wrested a…

    Essay On Hawaii Culture

    “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.…
