Political Turmoil in Hawaii
This chapter delves into the dangerous political situation in Hawaii in the late 19th century, where the Hawaiian League, led by Sanford Dole, aims to strip the monarchy of power and align Hawaii with the US through aggressive tactics. It discusses the coercive events of June 30, 1887, where the Hawaiian League, supported by militia and plantation owners, forces the king to sign the 'bayonet constitution,' leading to the monarch losing authority. The chapter also focuses on Queen Liliuokalani's efforts to restore rights to the people, facing opposition from Americans and planters who spread false accusations against her.
