Illegal Overthrow
January 17, 1893 The Hawaiian Kingdom Ends
THESIS
Minister John L. Stevens
John L. Stevens is the American minister. And what has happen was that Queen Liliuokalani attempted to give her people a new constitution. After that happen Minister John Stevens gave the orders for troops to land in Honolulu and a provisional government was declared. And after that has happened Queen Liliuokalani’s people protested about her to the people they call the “WHITE ONES”. And when the provisional government remained in force, with Sanford Dole as president they went to Hawaii and were about to go to war with one another. He is also one of those people that were under President Grover Cleveland, and what has happen is that he ordered troops to go and arrest Queen Liliuokalani at Iolani Palace. To do his work he needed to get or work closer the government to at least become the favorite one.
President Grover Cleveland
In the time of President Grover Cleveland’s there was something that they did and something that kind of messed everything up. And that type of thing was that they went through the process of annexation. And that sign was the act of war. But before any of that has come to pass the Americans sends in a guy name James blout and he was the secretary of the United States. And what Blout did was that he sends a report of 1,400 words about the overthrow and was illegal and immoral. The first thing he did was to lower the American flag because Hawaii wasn't annexed yet and the other thing was that he demands them to return the Hawaiian kingdom to the queen. But still does nothing and that is when everything started to happen. Between American vs. Americans and still nothing ever really happens. And that was it.
President William Mckinley
The most significant thing about President William McKinley was that he did something that people will say why is there a scroll that looks like Hawaii got annexed which everyone knows it really didn’t happen. Well, as we go more into history he always wanted Hawaii to be annexed but it didn’t happened. At his time there was a war but the way things went down was that if Americans fight and kill us the people running Hawaii they are also fighting Americans so they didn’t fight them because they are also Americans. But in 1898 the Spanish American war was happening in the Philippines. But after that has happened he went and signed a reciprocity treaty that says Hawaii got annexed but really it never and that is why in front of McKinley high school he carries a scroll that represents the power of annexation. And how everything is now how it is.
Historical Significant
So the information that I've provided for you is about the 3 main people that made a huge impacted in the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom. And also what made modern day Hawaiians hate the way the Americans did when the other side of Americans were suppose to save the Hawaiian monarchy and give the throne back but instead they stop the fighting. The topic is important in history because if Americans never discovered the Polynesians Island none of this nonsense will be here. The things that I wanted the reader to get from this flyer are the facts about the 3 people I've picked to write about in this flyer about. And the 3 people are John L. Stevens, President Grover Cleveland and lastly President William McKinley.
