I think “The United States annexes Hawaii in 1900” should be paired with imperialism. The meaning of imperialism is the policy that creates colonies in the weaker nations in order to make raw materials and have access to the new markets.

The agreement between the US and Hawaii ended when Congress passed the “McKinley Tariff of 1890”.

All the labors had one goal in common which was to find a job to provide for their families. Plantation life in Hawaii in the 1800s was depressing. There were some differences in gender dealing with jobs, the working conditions were long and hard, and the living conditions were unsanitary.

Standing still, eyes closed, the wind ruffling clothes and hair, carrying the distinct salty taste of the beautiful beaches so many call home. Once the eyes open, senses are nearly overloaded by the sight ahead, something many people see every day, but are still amazed by every single time. The warm sand beneath the feet leads, like a carpet, to the crystal water that shines like blue diamond, getting deeper and darker until, finally, eyes are lost at sea.

Standing on the edge of any beach in Hawaii, it is easy to forget that this beautiful and serene state has a long and tragic history of exploitation
Understanding the culture of a nation, people, or group one must immerse themselves and experience the nation’s arts, beliefs, customs, practices, values, and social behaviors.
