Please help! 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.
