Sanford B. Dole
Queen Liliuokalani was removed from power in Hawaii in 1893 with the assistance of a group of American planters, primarily led by Sanford B. Dole. This group sought to overthrow her monarchy and establish a republic that favored American interests. The U.S. Marines were called in to support the coup, effectively aiding the planters in their efforts to depose the queen. The overthrow ultimately led to the annexation of Hawaii by the United States in 1898.
Sanford Dole sought to establish a stable and economically prosperous government in Hawaii, primarily through the annexation of the islands to the United States. He believed that American control would lead to increased trade, investment, and modernization, benefiting the local economy. Dole was also motivated by a desire to protect American interests and influence in the Pacific region, particularly against perceived threats from other powers. His actions ultimately contributed to the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893.
American imperialism had a very profound effect on Hawaii. Once Hawaii had become a protectorate, American business men started arriving. As time passed, they made efforts to disenfranchise the Hawaiian people. For example, limiting voting rights to only wealthy people. This caused the Hawaiian legislature to be mainly composed of foreign legislators. When the Hawaiian queen ascended the throne and attempted to bring more equality to the island, an American, Sanford B. Dole (as in Dole bananas), seized power, and had her arrested and imprisoned. Dole and the other businessmen were instrumental in turning Hawaii into a Republic, which had Dole, rather than a native Hawaiian, as its first president.
The Committee of Safety was established by various groups during the American Revolution, but it is most notably associated with the Hawaiian Islands' overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1893. The group was composed of American and European business interests in Hawaii, led by individuals such as Sanford B. Dole, who sought to secure their economic interests and ultimately facilitated the annexation of Hawaii by the United States. The term has also been used in other contexts, such as during the early stages of the American Revolution when local committees were formed to maintain order and safety in the absence of effective governance.

He was a major player in the 1887 revolution.
Sanford B. Dole played a pivotal role in the annexation of Hawaii, primarily through his leadership in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893. As president of the provisional government established after the coup, he advocated for the annexation of Hawaii to the United States, arguing that it would benefit both Hawaii and America strategically and economically. Dole's efforts culminated in the passage of the Newlands Resolution in 1898, which officially annexed Hawaii as a U.S. territory. His influence and political maneuvering were key in shaping Hawaii's transition from an independent kingdom to a U.S. territory.
