Hawaii was an independent kingdom. Out of interest, the Union flag in the top left corner of the Hawaii flag is there because the King of Hawaii sought protection from the British Crown throughout the nineteenth century, allowing Hawaii to become a British protectorate afraid of American and Russian influence. 'The late 1830s marked an official takeover of Hawai'i by Great Britain. This began with the appointment by the British government of Richard Charlton as consular agent to oversee British interests in Hawai'i and at the Society Islands.' see http://www.islander-magazine.com/british.html

He probably was persuaded on several different points such as:

  • Expansionism was a world phenomenon and if we don't take it someone else will.
  • To become a World Power mandated a strong presence in the Pacific Ocean and the US already had Guam and the Philippenes.
  • The Republic of Hawaii was firmly in the hands of his Republican cronies and they wanted to become a Territory so why not give them a little help.

Also, it was a strategic location. The US sought to take advantage of not only that, but because of crop value of the islands.

What are Hawaiian people called?

Only Native Hawaiians should be called "Hawaiians". The preferred form of address would be locals or Hawaii residents. (Notice the subtle difference of Hawaii from Hawaiian). Many tourists gaff when they refer to full blooded Chinese, Filippino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese or even Puerto Ricans as Hawaiians, very few will take serious offense. A belligerent Maori or Samoan might, but such is the nature of southerners (or so it is said). Hawaii is also a melting pot of races and it would not be out of the question to find an individual with genealogical and genetic ties to Europe, Asia, North and South America, Africa, Australia, Asia and other parts of Oceania.

Genetics can be beautiful when properly and scientifically employed. That is employed for the purpose of health and science and not for some idealogical or socialaogical symbolism (as in seeking for a "Master Aryan") as Nazism was involved.

Where can one find cheap airline tickets to Hawaii?

If you have frequent flier miles, they cost you nothing except a couple of "gate" fees in a way. Other than that, it varies from time of year and sometimes from day to day, and you just have to keep your eye out depending on when you'd like to go. Typically winter holiday times are most expensive, the rainy season (mid-winter) is less expensive, and summer cheapest, but you can hit popular days too.
