Hawaii In The 1800's
In the early 1800's, America started to get interested in Hawaii, as the weather and land were ideal for agriculture. So, Americans entered Hawaii and supported its growth as they took numerous types of activities such as introducing coffee,pineapple as new crops and making the sugar industry larger. The support from America made the agriculture of Hawaii grow fast as by the mid 1800's it was the biggest part of its economy. In the late part of the 1800's, although the agriculture was succeeding there were two problems. Firstly, due to illnesses and the rapid growth, there weren't enough workers. Secondly, local workers salary was too high. To solve this problem, farms started to get lots of cheaper workers from other countries. Starting from

    In the 1840’s sugarcane was first introduced to the economy. By 1853 nearly three thousand acres of cane were under cultivation and its production continued to increase and eventually became the chief industry of the Islands (Carpenter 40). Sugar was the new king of the islands, and would continue its reign well on into the twentieth century. Today the industry is all but dead in the state, and the economic impact of its absence is still felt in many areas (Carpenter 40). Through the 1850’s 60’s and 70’s a movement to establish closer commercial relations between Hawaii and the United States was desired. Many reciprocity treaties were drawn up but then shot down as the two countries argued over trading rights. It was not until 1875 they met a negotiation with the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875. It created a duty-free market between the U.S. and Hawaii. The interesting thing about this treaty is that it never once mentions the sovereignty of Hawaii, a very crafty move by the U.S. In this document they managed to give the appearance of sovereignty and modelled the treaty to seem extremely favourable to Hawaiian trade, which depended greatly on sugar, while in actuality elusively avoiding the talk of Hawaii’s sovereignty (Carpenter 47-52). In reality, what the treaty did was establish the control and monopoly of the United States over…

    In January of 1778, Captain Cook discovered the Hawaiian Islands. Many foreigners from around the world began to arrive, introducing many new things to the Hawaiians. Foreign influence brought trade to Hawaii, which gave Hawaiians metal and guns. Even though foreign influence had some positive effects on Hawaii, I believe that foreign influence had a negative impact on Hawaii because trade brought not only guns and metal, but it also led to famine, disease, debt, and the deaths and lessening of the Hawaiian population.…

    By the time the United State was ready to explore new lands to conquer only a few territories were left that remained. Hawaii was one of these lands; it was led by a hereditary monarchy and was an independent state. In the 1820s America’s interest in Hawaii was sparked when New England missionaries ventured to spread their faith. In the 1840s it became a major goal for foreign policy to keep the European powers and influence out of Hawaii. But it was the sugar trade that gave America the foothold it needed to begin plans of annexation and later the statehood of Hawaii.…

    Despite the growing connection to Hawaii, economic and political trouble was arising. Cultivating sugar crops, which was very profitable at the time, diminished their value after the McKinley Tariff in 1890, which created restrictions on the product. To resolve this, white Americans thought the best solution would be to annex Hawaii to the US once and for all. But this was challenged by their ruler, Queen Liliuokalani, who claimed that only native Hawaiians should be allowed to administer control over the islands. Although the whites were only a minority among the natives, they managed to revolt against the Queen in 1893, assisted by American troops.…

    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.…
