Queen Liliuokilani- The power of a name

    Liliuokalani WAS the queen of Hawaii. She was a strong supporter of Hawaiian Independence. Unlike her brother, she wanted to restore the monarchy and reduce the influence of outside nations.  Liliuokalani was also an advocate of many female causes.  These include, a female college, a maternity home, and a woman's bank.
    Liliuokalani shows the other side of " The American pursuit of freedom was seen as something that seemed to only apply to America." This is because American expansion was threatening the way she ran her country. Apparently the US went through with the threat because Hawaii became a territory of the United States.
