Are They going to fight for their right?
Thesis
President William Mckinley
Minister John L. Stevens
President Grover Cleveland
Grover Cleveland had been inaugurated President. Cleveland was an outspoken anti-imperialist and thought Americans had acted shamefully in Hawaii. He withdrew the annexation treaty from the Senate and ordered an investigation into potential wrongdoings. Cleveland aimed to restore Liliuokalani to her throne, but American public sentiment strongly favored annexation. The matter was prolonged until after Cleveland left office. When war broke out with Spain in 1898, the military significance of Hawaiian naval bases as a way station to the SPANISH PHILIPPINES outweighed all other considerations. President William McKinley signed a joint resolution annexing the islands, much like the manner in which Texas joined the Union in 1845. Hawaii remained a territory until granted statehood as the fiftieth state in 1959.
Historical Significance
The intended consequence for Hawaii is they got annex to America because they did not think what america was doing and they just let them push them around. Until the time that America gain the power to take the land from the Hawaiians. Then Hawaiians turned homeless because you do not have money to pay taxes.
