Diplomatic And Congressional History:
From Monarchy To Statehood
A full review of the history of the
relations of the United States with
Hawaii and the native Hawaiians is
necessary for an evaluation of
Hawaiian native claims. In Part I of
this Report, that relationship is
traced from ancient times to 1875.
This chapter continues the story and
has four parts. First, it sets forth
the history of United States-Hawaiian
relations from 1875 through 1893.
Second, it provides an analysis of the
causes of the fall of the monarchy and
annexation. Because this section is
particularly sensitive and crucial to
this study, the Commissioners have
ietermined that review by a
professional historian with
Qualifications in the relevant
historical period is essential.
Therefore, the section on United
states-Hawaiian relations between 1893
and 1900 has been prepared by William
Dudley, Chief of Research in the
Historical Research Branch of the
Naval Historical Center, and Lt. Donna
Nelson of his staff. The Naval
Historical Research Branch works
primarily on research requests from
all sources concerning U.S. Navy
history from the eighteenth into the
twentieth centuries. The Branch edits
and publishes multi-volume series and
other works on Naval history with
particular emphasis on the eighteenth
and ni neteenth centuries. The
research staff, well-regarded in the
field, assists scholars and the public
by providing information and reviewing
manuscripts. The Branch has an
extensive library of naval and diplomatic
history, and the researchers are
careful, objective historians.
The third part of this chapter
further analyzes annexation and
c Dmpares the annexation process for
Hawaii with those of other territories.
Ti.e fourth part outlines the history
of Hawaii's admission to statehood,
and compares Hawaii's admission to the
Union to that of other selected states.
A. UNITED STATES-HAWAII RELATIONSHIPS
AND TREATIES, 1875 to 1893
The history of Hawaii and its
relationship to the United States from
ancient times to 1875 is set forth in
Part I of this report (pages 147 to
167). The period from 1875 to 1893
was extremely important and eventful
in the formulation of a relationship
between the United States and Hawaii.
During this span of time, turmoil
occurred in Hawaiian politics
concerning that relationship, which
resulted in violent protests as well
as a written treaty and agreement that
cemented the bond between the two
countries. The period also marked the
end of an era as Hawaii moved from a
royal monarchy to a republican form of
government. One of the most important
events occurred early in this
period—the signing of the Reciprocity
Treaty of 1875 between the United
States and the Kingdom of Hawaii.
1875 Reciprocity Treaty
Certain pre-1875 events affected
the reign of King Kalakaua, which
encompassed the period from 1874 to
1891. A reciprocal trade treaty
between the United States and Hawaii:
...had been agitated at intervals
for almost thirty years. In
1855, Judge Lee had secured
endorsement of such a treaty in
Washington, only to have it
defeated in the Senate by
Louisiana sugar planters.
Kamehameha IV and his successor
had favored it only as a lesser
evil than annexation to the United
States. 1/
