Congress approved annexation of Hawaii in 1898, after Sanford Dole removed Queen Lilioukalani from power.
It was formerly another group who wanted to overthrow the Hawaiian Monarch Government of Hawaii which was the "Hawaiian League" also now known as the "Annexation Club".
In 1893, Queen Liliʻuokalani of Hawaii was overthrown in a coup led by American and European businessmen, leading to the eventual annexation of Hawaii by the United States in 1898. There was no surrender of the Hawaiian islands in 1873; the significant events surrounding Hawaii's annexation occurred in the late 19th century. The U.S. established a strong presence in Hawaii, culminating in its annexation, but the formal surrender and annexation process occurred later.
When the tariff on Hawaiian sugar was reinstated in the early 1890s, Hawaiian sugar planters sought to avoid it by lobbying for the annexation of Hawaii to the United States. They believed that if Hawaii became a U.S. territory, their sugar would be exempt from tariffs, allowing for more competitive pricing in the American market. This push for annexation was also driven by the planters' desire to secure their economic interests and influence U.S. policy in Hawaii. Ultimately, their efforts contributed to Hawaii's annexation in 1898.

The Annexation Club renamed itself the Committee of Safety in Hawaii to better reflect its focus on ensuring the safety and stability of the Hawaiian Islands amid growing tensions. The new name signified a commitment to facilitating the annexation of Hawaii to the United States, portraying their actions as protective rather than purely self-interested. This rebranding aimed to garner broader support and justify their efforts in the face of opposition, particularly from the native Hawaiian population and other groups resisting annexation.
Hawaii became a U.S. territory in 1898 through the annexation of the Republic of Hawaii, which had previously overthrown the Hawaiian monarchy. This annexation was formalized with the Newlands Resolution, and it included the main Hawaiian Islands. The U.S. also acquired additional lands and rights, including Pearl Harbor, which became a significant naval base. Hawaii was later admitted as the 50th state of the United States in 1959.
