Hawaii was one of the only U.S. states to be indpendently run before the U.S. took over. It was named The Kingdom of Hawaii from 1810 to 1893. Under the current president, William McKinley, wished to annex Hawaii mainly for military purposes. He signed a treaty of annexation with representatives from Hawaii, and in June 1897, Hawaii formally became a part of the U.S. Although it was part of the U.S. Hawaii was privately governed as a territory and not a state. Thus it remained for almost 60 years, until it's people wanted to be considered as U.S. citizens because they were not receiving the same freedoms, such as the right to vote. The citizens appealed for statehood, and in 1959 Congress passed the Hawaii Admission Act under the leadership of Eisenhower, and Hawaii officially became the 50th state of the U.S.
