Hawai'i was never a US protectorate. After the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy, Hawai'i was turned into a Republic. It was later handed over to the United States (by those who illegally overthrew the Kingdom of Hawai'i) and made into a Territory.

On August 21, 1959, Hawai'i was voted in (by its large plantation immigrant population - Chinese, Japanese, Filipino) to become the 50th State.
