Thesis
The overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom and robbery of the of their sovereignty would have not been possible with out these key players in the game of imperialism.
Minister John L. Stevens
Minister John Stevens was a very important person when the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom came along. First of all he was a racist that thought lowly of the Hawaiian people. He once commented that they were child like, unfit to rule and semi-barbaric. He was in favor of the Coup De Tat. He lead the American marines to the palace to overthrow the queen. These actions were not even accepted from the president of the United States. Minister John L. Stevens like a gangster told the marines to follow him to the palace.
President Benjamin Harrison
Another very important person that was involved with the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom. In the renewal of the reciprocity treaty Harrison had asked for pearl harbor. This is important because this proposal would lead to what we know as the of the bayonet constitution of Hawaii. Which weakens the monarchy making it a constitutional monarchy. With this new power the Honolulu rifles basically ran the government. With the new constitution the king was just a figure head. Hawaiian lost all their rights with this new constitution, in plain the natives were basically voice less in their own land.
President Grover Cleveland
The final important person during the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom was Grover Cleveland. Cleveland does the right thing and sends Blount to asses the situation in Hawaii. Blount rights a report saying that the overthrow was imoral and illegal. Cleveland tells the provisional government to stop but they wont give Hawaii up. Cleveland end up doing nothing after that which is sma' kine sheeeettttyyyy he basically sat and watch his citizen take over a small and defenseless island. These actions can make you question what his intentions were, he got the report from blount "Immoral and Illegal" even an act of war. Why not give it back? I mean why? easy taking the, opportunities are endless with Hawaii. Money was all to be found with Hawaii apart of the United States.
historical significants
If it wasn't for these hero's Hawaii would've still been child-like and barbarians right. This topic is important because without them Hawaii wouldn't nice as it is today. For example look at the rest of the world, I mean I think we dodged a bullet without the queen. I want readers to take from this that Hawaii was wrongfully taken by these thieves and crooks.
