Monarquía en su turno
Missionaries takes over Hawaiian land
Thesis
On January 17, 1893, the Hawaiian Kingdom was taken over by the government of the United States. President Harrison, Cleveland and Minister Stevens were part of the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
President Benjamin Harrison
Benjamin Harrison was elected the 23rd President of the United States during the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Kalakaua's reign and also the Bayonet Constitution. Harrison was interested in expanding the Hawaiian culture & established a Naval Base at Pearl Harbor to indicate a new constitution for the Hawaiian government. With the remaining 1 more month in office, the government signed a treaty on February 14 and sent the treaty to the Senate with Harrison's recommendation. But the Senate house rejected the act of the treaty and after President Cleveland withdrew the treaty shortly after taking office in 1885 as the 24th President of the United States. Harrison signed a different treaty with the U.S. government.
Minister John Leavitt Stevens
John Stevens was the United States Minister of the Hawaiian Kingdom. He was accused to overthrow Queen Liliuokalani with the Committee of Safety in 1893. Steven's established a protectorate pending the negotiation of Hawaii being annexed on February.9, 1893. John Stevens was assigned to Hawaii by the U.S. government to represent the United States. He supports the Committee of Safety by the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom and by the Coup De Tat. Stevens treated Queen Liliuokalani to surrender from her throne as Queen of Hawaii.
President Grover Cleveland
When Grover took office he was questioned by the U.S. government about the annexation on Hawaii. Grover Cleveland wrote 1,400 pages of why overthrowing the Hawaiian Kingdom was Illegal and Moral. He Didn't want to annex Hawaii because he supported the free trading with Hawaii and agreed to give U.S. Pearl Harbor naval station. President Cleveland agreed with Blout's report to oppose the annexation of Hawaii, he rejected the the idea of Hawaii being annexed and encouraged the congress to continue the traditions for Americans of non-intervention.
Historical Significance
The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was worked with Stevens, Cleveland and Harrison to get the queen to surrender her thrown in the Hawaiian government. From this project of the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, I'd like for readers to know that President Harrison, Minister Stevens and President Cleveland worked together as the Committee of Safety to take over the Hawaiian government. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom is important in history because it took away Hawaiian land and government by the American Missionaries when they first settled here in the early 18th century.
Hawaii Legally & Lawfully A State of The Union
Hawaii isn't a state of the union by law and legally because the U.S. government tried to take over Queen Liliuokalani power as queen in the Hawaiian government. When they forced to take over the queen's power, it cause the U.S. government to make Hawaii a territory. The government forced the soldiers from Boston and the U.S. to forcibly go into 'Iolani Palace to ask the queen to surrender her place in the Hawaiian government.
