President McKinley agree to the sealing of Hawaii because he was bought and paid for by big business such as Sanford Dole of pineapple fame. Outgoing president, Grover Cleveland tried to get the blessing of congress to retake Hawaii and give it back to it rightful owners, but the Money Power in the US saw to it that that would not happen.
This was an era of US Imperialism. Annexing Hawaii was a logical step in its time.
