Why Many In Hawai’i Won’t Celebrate 250th Anniversary Of The US
Even though it’s the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the United States, many in Hawai’i, the 50th territory to “join”/acquire U.S. statehood, will not be celebrating.
When you better know the history of how rich and greedy U.S. citizens, many descendants of the missionaries from the 1830s, conducted a coup that overthrew the government of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893 you will understand why for many in Hawai’I, both Hawaiians and settler-colonists like me, there will be no celebration on July 4th.
Add to the coup, a go along U.S. Congress, similar to what we have today, that illegally “annexed” Hawai’i in 1898 through a “resolution.”
