Taudenciah Oluoch History 1302-004 Mr. Terry D. Cowan 21 October 2015 In 1875 the United States got involved in Hawaii, when King Kalakaua signed a treaty with the United States permitting access to American Markets for Hawaiian sugarcane, which was the island 's largest agricultural product. The planters ' belief that a coup and annexation by the United States would remove the threat of a devastating tariff on their sugar also spurred them to action. In 1893 planters staged an uprising to overthrow the queen.
Imperialism is a style of government that strives to expand its territory by either invading other nations or forcing them to submit to its control through political means. Countries engaged in imperialism to expand their territory and power. In America during the 1860s, industrialization was on the rise which increased the demand for raw materials to support the mass production of goods and the growing population of the Country. America sought to capture Hawaii because of the island's abundant resources. During this time, Hawaii was governed by a monarchy and was home to many American planters who benefited from the rich resources.
In Hawaii, in the 1800s, King Kamehameha the fourth and the planters needed to import foreign workers to make more sugar. Plantation life in Hawaii in the 1800s was not easy. They had harsh living conditions, working conditions were difficult to work in, and racial differences made it unfair. Living condition was harsh because those who worked on the plantation had to live in a 10 foot-square room with a kitchen according to source #1. In source #1

Foreigners did not take long to transition Hawaiians from their previous lifestyles with new ideas. However, not everyone was fond of the new way of life, but the beliefs of Hawaiians had no significance to foreigners. According to an article by Kuloku, it expressed that, “He paid no attention to our wishes.” Previously, each opinion was considered carefully until a consensus was formed. Hawaiians were ruined of their quality and feature as a consequence of the deception, apathy, and stubbornness of foreigners.
The Overthrow happened on January 17, 1893 against the Hawaiian Kingdom. With the support of U.S. Minister Stevens, American troops, and the Committee of Safety, Queen Liliuokalani was forced to surrender the throne to the U.S. The Overthrow was caused mainly byunjustified thanks to Minister Stevens, who brought American troops towards Iolani Palace. , Although their action was illegal, and they held the Queen at gunpoint which was immoral. Also, it was unwarranted sincedue to the queen wasbeing against war and bloodshed, andso she really had no choice but to give up her throne if she didn’t want the chaos of physical violence happening.
The Hawaiian Kingdom emerged from the arrival of Polynesians from other Pacific islands and later the unification of the islands by Kamehameha the Great. The Kingdom of Hawaii had a monarchy government system, where the rulers were of the same family and royal blood. King Kalakaua was the last king of Hawaii and Queen Lili’uokalani was the last ruler of Hawaii. While Queen Lili’uokalani was locked away from her throne, she sat under house-arrest in the hopes the next heir to the throne, Princess Ka’iulani would make a change for the better of Hawaii’s sovereignty. Into the present, the Hawaiian Monarchy has been overthrown, annexed and in control by the United States of America.
Imperialism was a controversial idea that a nation can extend its power outward through means of diplomatic or military force. This often results in a shift of power from one major force currently in control to another. The people of that nation under control conflict may also experience wars, rebellions, or cultural destruction. Looking at some of these events, we see some positives and negatives of imperialistic action taken by the United States, and how it affected the nations imperialized by the United States. For starters, let’s look at Hawaii’s annexation.
American imperialism: the result of capitalism, business, and trade; the result of fear, competition with other countries, and the quest for furthering an economy—proven with the acquisition of Hawaii and the removal of its ruler, Queen Liliuokalani. Why and how did that happen, and in which ways did it impact the world? The United States removed Hawaii’s queen out of imperialism, an avarice for control of the rich natural resources, and the strategic military standpoint Hawaii provided them with. This changed Hawaii to a tourist base and sugarcane phenomenon, boosting the United States’s economy, but also caused a decline in the population of the Native Hawaiians. The possession of Hawaii also led to the United States’s involvement in World
The plantation workers and Kamehameha the third needed more workers that was ready for the hard work that would come with the plantation life. It was very hard for people to make a living off of plantation life. Plantation life in Hawaii in the 1800s was miserable. The living conditions were terrible, the working conditions were tiring, and both genders were very different and had different jobs.
For the cultural immersion experience, the culture I will be focused on is the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander culture. While I do not usually have any personal difficulty with this population, there sometimes can be animosity towards White people in our community if they do not respect the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander culture. Therefore, sometimes, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders lump White people into one category of “not caring”. This could make it difficult to work with students from this cultural background if they see me as a White person that is uncaring. Although, through building rapport with students, being genuine, and advocating for them, I will be able to show students that I do care.
“If you ask ten people of Hawaiian blood what they want done, you’re likely to get 10 different answers” stated by John Fischer a Hawaii Travel Expert. Hawaii statehood day, is a controversial holiday for all the people of Hawaii. On the third Friday in August each year, schools statewide take a day off to 'celebrate' Hawaii's anniversary of becoming a state. Although, it has always been a controversial holiday as the monarchy of Hawaii was overthrown illegally. For some it is a day of remorse, others a day to look back on history and for others, it is seen as just another day off.

Being very fortunate to travel, my wife and I decided to traveo to Hawaii. It was our first trip to that paradisaical place. The experience was fabulous from the very beginning. We flew to the island, and before the plane could land, we were amazed at beautiful blue and clarity of the sea. As we reached towards the beach we were able to see the bottom of the ocean.
