How does the people of Hawaii will feel when the U.S. sets up their own independent U.S. government in their islands? Remember that Hawaii already had a government (a monarchy / a queen) and the US is a much bigger country than Hawaii.

Final answer:

When the U.S. established its own independent government in Hawaii, the feelings of the people were mixed, with some resisting and others supporting the annexation.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the U.S. set up its own independent government in Hawaii, the feelings of the people varied. During the time of the monarchy, some Hawaiians resisted and resented the growing American influence and interference in their government.

However, others, especially American residents and investors in Hawaii's sugar industry, supported the annexation as it benefited their economic interests. Today, there is still a diversity of opinions among native Hawaiians regarding self-governance, with some supporting independence and others favoring a semi-sovereign status within the United States as an indigenous American tribe.
