Was Kamehameha An Effective Leader
Kamehameha is the first person to rule all the 8 main islands. He had to kill many high ali’i and their sons, he also had to kill his own relatives to conquer the hawaiian islands. Kamehameha needed to go through many wars and battles to kill the other ali’i. He had many foreign advisors, weapons, and techniques to help him in wars. His last battle in the unification of Hawaii is the battle of Nu’uanu, where he fought against Kalanikupule and Kaiana and he forced many warriors to fall off the cliff of the Pali. Kamehameha is an effective leader because he was wise and helpful. Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was very wise. One reason why Kamehameha was an effective leader is because he placed a kapu on young sandal wood trees.
It was wise of him to do that because they can conserve the trees and during the sandalwood trade the worker spent too much time with the sandalwood so, the workers could spend more time cultivating their fields (page 26). This is something that changed because, before the unification of Hawaii there was no such thing as the sandalwood trade. This was very good because now they won't run out of sandalwood trees quickly and more of the worker will spend time cultivating their fields.
Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was very helpful to his people. One reason why Kamehameha was an effective leader is because he charged visiting ships for harbor, pilot, and port fees. (page 28)It was helpful for him and his people because now he can gain more things from foreign people and places also Kamehameha’s people can get more things. This is something that changed because before the unification of Hawaii they did not charge people for harbor, pilot, and port. This was very good because now they can get more things and Kamehameha can earn a profit.
