What does Alice Paul have to say to Future American Women?
August 18, 1920
Dear Future American Women,
Today the 19th Amendment was ratified. We the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) and American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA), together are called National American Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA + AWSA), fought for the women's suffrage for quite some time and along the way have lost some good people and friends. We have also gained many good people and friends in the fight for the woman's right of freedom. All of us have come a long way and have fought a big battle for future generations to have the rights that we didn't have but had wish we had. To see this day come has brought women who have helped make this day come to a reality has brought joy and happiness to them all.
My advice to the women of America is to never give up on your dream. I didn't give up on my dream to help all American women even when times got bad. I had a choice to give up the dream that not only I wanted but every woman who wanted it, either for their children for themselves, or for the ones they loved and cared about. No matter the reason never stop fighting or for your dream. Every dream has its good features and its not so good features but that should never stop you from fighting. Sometimes they are just obstacles and you have to go around the ones that some people create or through your way.
Sincerely,
Alice Paul

Gain Power by Sugar Interests in Hawaii?
More and more Americans go to Hawaii, and the investors in the sugar industry began to increase their control. Americans have a sweet tooth, and sugar planters become rich. Sugarcane plantations needed workers to keep the business running. With few native Hawaiians left, the planters brought in workers from China, Japan, and Philippines.
Kalakaua became king of Hawaii in 1874. At this point in time, America had gained control over Hawaii's land and economy. Kalakaua was strongly nationalistic. He resented the Americans' influence over his government and promised to put native Hawaiians into power.
Near the beginning of his reign, King Kalakaua allied himself with landowners in desire to strengthen the Hawaiian economy. In 1875 he negotiated a treaty that allowed Hawaiian sugar to enter tax free in the United States. This made the Hawaiian sugar cheaper than other sugar from different places. The Hawaiian sugar industry got a good boost from the treaty. The more money the sugar tycoons made, the more power they wanted over the Hawaiian affairs.
