1893
Queen Liliuokalani pushed back against the sugar planters because she sought to restore the sovereignty and rights of the Hawaiian monarchy and its people, which she felt were being undermined by foreign interests. The planters, primarily American, sought to extend their economic control and influence over Hawaii, threatening the cultural and political independence of the islands. Liliuokalani aimed to implement a new constitution that would reduce the power of foreign settlers and restore authority to the native Hawaiian government. Her efforts ultimately led to her overthrow in 1893.

Absolutely not.
The planters' revolt against Queen Liliuokalani in 1893 was a significant event that reflected the tensions between native Hawaiians and American settlers. The revolt was largely driven by economic interests of American sugar planters who sought to maintain their privileges and influence over Hawaii. This led to the overthrow of the queen and the eventual annexation of Hawaii by the United States, raising complex issues of sovereignty and imperialism. The event is often viewed as a pivotal moment in Hawaiian history, marking the loss of native governance and cultural autonomy.
