Answer 1

Queen Liliuokalani opposed the annexation of Hawaii and the overthrow of her government, which she protested as illegal. She was ultimately overthrown in 1893, resulting in a provisional government led by Sanford B. Dole. Despite U.S. President Grover Cleveland declaring the overthrow illegal, Liliuokalani was unable to be reinstated and was imprisoned for her resistance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii, the last reigning monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom, vehemently opposed the events that led to the overthrow of her government. Her resistance to the push by American planters to annex Hawaii to the United States was a major historical event, culminating in the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. Specifically, after a coup supported by the United States military and the formation of a provisional government led by Sanford B. Dole, Liliuokalani was forced to abdicate her throne. Despite this, President Grover Cleveland recognized the overthrow as illegal, yet was unable to restore the queen's position due to resistance from the planters. Eventually, after being imprisoned for her resistance to an 1895 coup, Liliuokalani witnessed the annexation of Hawaii by the United States in 1898.

3. Liliuokalani is arrested and imprisoned, underscoring her continued resistance.
4. Queen Liliuokalani's dedication to defending native Hawaiian rights and her challenge to the overthrow of her kingdom highlight her appreciation for any efforts done in favor of Hawaiian independence, potentially including Secretary John's intervention, should there have been any.
