    At Queen Liliuokalani’s birth no one knew of the struggles and trials she was to face. Neither did they know that she would be the last reigning monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Queen Liliuokalani made many difficult decisions during her reign but she did so with the hope of establishing sovereignty and preserving the islands for the native people. The United States played a major role with the dethroning of Queen Liliuokalani and the annexation of Hawaii as they gradually encroached upon the Islands through trade and commerce, taking away power from their Monarchy, and completely disregard Hawaii’s own desire for sovereignty as the political leaders of the U.S. only sought to gain control for their own benefit.…

    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.…

    Andrew Jackson’s election marked a new direction in American politics. He was the first westerner president elected and he declared himself to be the “champion of the common man”. Jackson gave political power to the common man as seen by Margaret Bayard Smith on the day of Jackson’s inauguration in 1829. (Doc. A) Smith describes the Western farmers going crazy in the streets and at the White House which wasn’t seen as an ordinary inauguration. Usually an inauguration would take front of politicians and not just the common people. Jackson was able to provide political power to the common man by ending voting rights to just white males and this meant any man could vote versus white landowners. To provide even more power to the common man Jackson invented the rotation policy of officers also known as the Spoils System which was designed to fill positions in congress with Jeffersonian-Democrats that had helped Jackson win the election. Jackson felt this was a win, win situation because he was providing more power for the common man but he also justified it by saying he needed loyal people in congress. Jackson stated his rotation policy to explain his primary purpose, which was to allow “common men” positions in office because the…

    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…

    “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.…
