The United States had been interested in the Hawaiian Islands since the early 19th century. It was the perfect climate for growing sugar and other crops as well as a strategic location to the Pacific Ocean. After the Civil War, Americans were enticed to move to Hawaii to grow sugar. But with high tariffs placed on foreign goods, many became a proponent of making Hawaii a part of the United States.

There was great debate over whether to annex Hawaii. Annexation means to incorporate (territory) into an existing political unit such as a country. At times annexation is done through military force.

How do you think the situation worked out for Hawaii?
