At this time more now than ever many wanted Hawaii to become apart of the United States because it would undo the spotulations that the Tariff Act of 1890
Hawaii has given the opportunity to the U.S. government to make a substantial amount of profit, which is an incredible reason for bringing annexation to Hawaii. During this time period, sugar was a very high selling product that everyone demanded for and Hawaii had sugar plantations across the land. For example, the Mckinley Tariff was great influential law towards the American economy.

Natives are seen harassing “haoles” at the beach or harmlessly intimidating some, but on a rare occasion they go rogue and do violent actions.

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.
During Week One we learned about Hawaii Economic Outlook.

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.

Hawaii Island is the biggest island in the Hawaiian chain with climatic differences over its 7 fundamental areas: Kona, Hilo, Kohala Coast, North Kohala, the Hamakua Coast, Puna and Kau.

Maui is the second-largest and second most populous Hawaiian island. It is located between the island of Oahu and the Big Island Of Hawaii. Each of its six distinct regions has something special to offer its residents.

The United State’s annexation of Hawaii in 1898 led to the gradual destruction of the Hawaiian culture and the almost-extinction of native-born Hawaiians. The majority of the Hawaiian natives opposed the annexation of Hawaii and wanted to maintain their sovereignty. Although the Japanese could have taken over the Hawaiian islands if the United States had not, the annexation of Hawaii by the U.S. was unjustified because of the treatment of the monarchy and natives, the infringement of the natives’ self-established culture and government, and the natives’ overwhelming opposition to the U.S’s involvement in Hawaii. From 1795 to 1874, the Kamehameha Dynasty ruled over the kingdom of the Hawaiian islands. Up until the death of Kamehameha III, the U.S. had stayed out of interfering with the islands.
The Hawaiian islands feel like paradise and is its biggest moneymaker is tourism but back then in the 1800s it was sugar plantation and many businesses have been started in the 1800s. In my opinion, reading 2 is more informative and useful for a person who knows nothing about the sugar plantations in Hawaii. Therefore that in article 2 it talks about of what is happening to to the sugar plantation companies recently. Instead, of the first article which it talks about mainly about what happened to the plantation workers in the 1800s.

Lewis touched upon the core of dualistic, non-antagonistic development and his analysis of the interactions between the two sectors provides a useful framework for understanding and development planning (Premdas and Cyr, 1991). Premdas and St. Cyr (1991) also highlight the intrinsic (theoretical) and empirical (evidence-based) weaknesses of the model. They say that the model is “a gross over simplification of the situation in developing countries”. They argue that there are other significant sectors that can be looked at rather than only the "traditional" and "modern" sectors.
