Hawai'i V.S. United States
The Fall Of The Hawaiian Kingdom
The Important Peoples Of Hawaiian History
President Benjamin Harrison , President Grover Cleveland , and Minister John L. Stevens. The day of January 17,1893 that is when the hawaiian kingdom was being overthrowned and that is why these people are important to the islands of Hawai'i till today.
President Benjamin Harrison
This president played a role in Hawaiian history that is when he made a treaty in 1887 it is called Reciprocity treaty. But in order to renew the treaty pearl habor had to be annexed. And in the same year the bayonet constitution is made but it restricted hawaiians from voting. Benjamin took the power from king kamahamaha III then when the years past in 1897 he was no longer president anymore, But also made treaties with the indians and then the treaty of annexation dies.
President Grover Clevlend
He was helping with the hawaiians because he made a petition for queen Lili'uokalani for the hawaiias so she would get out from under foreign power. Then in the year a guy name Blount came in and stayed in hawaii for 4 months he also fought in the civil war he made a report as long as 4,300 pages long. President Clevlend he wanted to lower all american flags from the buildings because he did not want a small island being over runned by americans because he knows that the hawaiians did not have fire power to fight against the U.S. He also wanted to put the Queen back on the throne, But then petitions were made to the united states because they did not want to be part of the U.S. or a state.
Minister John L. Stevens
He was a bad man. Why? because he was very racist against the hawaiians. He also believes the white people are more superior against the hawaiians, The hawaiian people are like childrens because they do not listen they fight fight till they get what they want and to have the queen back on the thrones because they did not want to be over powered against the untied states. The queen surrenders to the U.S gov but not the provitional gov because she did not want the people be killed and the hawaiian population will go down. She also did not want to start a war since her people had no power against the U.s
