Question 3 • MO-US History II A
A defensible position is against annexation. The United States annexed Hawaii in 1898 after American-led forces helped overthrow Queen Liliʻuokalani’s government, and many Native Hawaiians opposed annexation. This supports choosing “against” because the annexation happened without the consent of the Hawaiian monarch or a vote of all Hawaiians.
