JESUS LOL well that is true.
because americans wanted Hawaii to become a part of us
Because they exported cash crops like rice.
Florida was a Spanish holding from 1513 and didn’t become part of the United States until 1845. Many planters came from southern states like Georgia.
It was the best way to grow large cash crops.
They became so wealthy by growing tobacco in the Carolinas and bringing it back to England and selling it
I believe it was Dole that started the revolt because he wanted to get rich basically as did many other planters, and Hawaii was the best place to do it for planters. Plus bad working conditions and no traveling probably were incentives too. To build upon that, in 1890, the McKinley Tariff had been implemented upon the planters which raised taxes on Hawaiian products. The planters revolted against the tariff, and discovered that the only way to overcome the tax would be to have Hawaii annexed to the union. Therefore, the planters were fighting the tax, in addition to fighting for the annexation of Hawaii in order to avoid the tax.
The nativeHawaiiansdid not want to become a US state, whereas the planters did so that they would not have to pay the tariff on their goods when they imported them to the mainland. Since the natives did not want to become a part of America, the planters took control of the government so that they could claim that this was what the Hawaiian people wanted. The president at the time (i cant recall who) did not believe this to be the true wish of the Hawaiian people, and so rejected the request, until another president a few years later approved it.
because the United States insisted Hawaii grant it exclusive rights to a naval base at Pearl Harbor. In 1887 sugar planters forced Hawaiis king to accept a constitution limiting his power. the planters wanted Hawaii to become part of the United States. After ascending the throne in 1891, Queen Liliuokalani tried to reassert the Hawaiian nocharchys power, but the planters, supported by U.S.sailors, overthrew the monarchy in 1893. The United States annexed Hawaii in 1898
Planters realized that poor, angry workers could be dangerous to have around.
Portugal; it was the only country that traded slaves at the time.
