The Committee of Safety was the "Cover Name" for the group that proposed the annexation of Hawaii and while in theory not a member, it was led and directed by the Publisher of the Honolulu Advertiser, Lorrin A. Thurston. Other principals involved in the overthrow of the Monarchy were Henry Ernest Cooper, Sr., who was the elected head of the 13 member Committee of Safety, Sanford B. Dole who became the first President of the Republic of Hawaii, and John L. Stevens who was the US Minister to the Kingdom of Hawaii.
American planters, primarily of sugar interests in Hawaii, orchestrated a coup against Queen Liliuokalani in January 1893. They sought to overthrow her in response to her attempts to restore the monarchy's authority and limit foreign influence, particularly regarding land ownership. With the support of U.S. Minister John Stevens and a contingent of U.S. Marines, the planters established a provisional government, which eventually led to the annexation of Hawaii by the United States.
Yes, John Taylor, the 10th President of the United States, supported the annexation of Texas. He believed that annexation would benefit the United States by expanding its territory and strengthening its influence in North America. Taylor's administration played a significant role in facilitating the annexation process, which ultimately occurred in 1845. His support was rooted in both political and strategic considerations.
Liliuokalani wanted to establish a constitution for Hawaii but the rich planters called the "Committee of Safety" and U.S. Minister John Stevens wanted Hawaii to become a US territory. The annexation happened on July 7, 1898. Liliuokalani did not have the power to fight the annexation so she abdicated.
