JUSTIFICATION OF THE QUARREL
Minister John L. Stevens
Minister Stevens was assigned to Hawaii to protect the Americans in Hawaii along with 300 U.S. marines. He was representing U.S. on all matters including political representations of the U.S.. His perspective of the Hawaiian kingdom was unnecessary in a way that Hawaii was a child-like and believes that they were unruled and not fit to be ruled. Later on this reign, Stevens and Sanford B. Dole organized an organization called the “Committee of Safety”. This organization was the cause of Queen Liliuokalani’s overthrow. These mens supported the idea of Coup De Tat, which is a sudden action resulting in a change of the government illegally or by force. Then, he proclaimed Hawaii to U.S. protectorate, and recognized a new type of government. Then, he ordered marines to disembark off the USS Boston and marched them to Downtown Honolulu. Moreover, Dole proposed a treaty of annexation of Hawaii to the Senates, however, most of the votes were rejected. He had the audacity to threatens the Queen to surrender to him, however, little did he know that the Queen would sure surrender to the U.S. and not under his hands.
President Grover Cleveland
President William McKinley
President Mckinley was a president who is a replacement of President Cleveland. McKinley signed a treaty of annexation of the Hawaiian Kingdom in July 7, 1898. This was the time when the Spanish-American War was occurring and helped bring to a close almost a decade of uncertainty about the status of the Hawaiian Islands. This event made the Pearl Harbor to be the “Strategic Value”, where it was a tool for military purposes. When he became the new president, he tried to reversed the actions that Cleveland had took. However, he failed to do what he was trying to do because he was unable to get votes of the treaty of annexation from the congress. After this event, he attempted another try, but this time he pressured and able to persuade the senators. He told the senates that if the annexation is approved, it would be the fulfillment of American manifest destiny. And so the treaty he proposed was approved and signed, made it to the House of Representatives, making the Hawaii to be officially part of the United States on July 7, 1898. Later then, Hawaii become as the 50th state in the year of 1959.
