Vol VI No. 721 Part 1d

Ron Williams Jr
Today—12 Kepakemapa—in Hawaiian history [1897]: A petition to US President William McKinley and the US Senate, protesting the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy and resisting the idea of an annexation of the Hawaiian nation to the United States of America, is sent out by Ka Ahahui Hawaiʻi Aloha ʻĀina and Ka Ahahui Hawaiʻi Aloha ʻĀina o Nā Wahine through special messengers headed to every district in the Islands. The petition would come to gather over 21,000 signatures and work to block the second attempt at annexation in 1898.

The Hawaiian Kingdom [1843-1893], under native rule, was one of the most progressive, achieving countries in the family on nations.
By the end of the 1880s the Kingdom had nearly 100 diplomatic consulates in cities around the world.
