Chapter 4 American Lives: Queen Liliuokalani. This caught my attention while reviewing this week's reading in our textbook. Being that I am born and raised in Hawaii, I enjoy learning the history of Hawaii. The insights that I have is not knowing that Queen Liliuokalani was married to a white man or that she was adopted by a white family. The stories that were told to me when I was younger, was that Queen Liliuokalani was held captive in the Iolani Palace because she refused to sign Hawaii over to the government. That the missionaries came to Hawaii with one goal, to turn the Hawaiian people into civilized human beings.
