The Last Resort performed by the Eagles: Did you know This song is about the migration west from east, the frontiers that it brought to the settlers and the problems that they brought with them. The last frontier is Hawaii when he speaks about Maui You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina, just like the missionaries did years ago, they even brought a neon, said Jesus is coming....if you have never been to Lahaina, there is a small missionary church on Front St. with a neon sign on it that says Jesus Coming Soon truly a classic if you listen carefully to the lyrics. Queen Liliuokalani was overthrown by local businessmen with the help of the U.S. Marines and is forced to surrender the Hawaiian kingdom to the United States!!!! January 17, 1893, the last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Queen Liliuokalani, was deposed in a coup détat. The coup efforts were supported by American minister to Hawaii John L. Stevens and the invasion of U.S. Marines, who came ashore at the request of the conspirators. The coup left the queen imprisoned at Iolani Palace under house arrest. It briefly became the Republic of Hawaii, before eventual seizure by the United States in 1898. MANIFEST DESTINY --- President William McKinley advocated annexation of the Republic of Hawaii in 1898, he said that We need Hawaii as much and a good deal more than we did California. It is manifest destiny. President Grover Cleveland, a Democrat who had blocked the annexation of Hawaii during his administration, wrote that McKinleys annexation of the territory was a perversion of our national destiny.Native Americans suffered a collective tragedy over the course of the nineteenth century. But their stories cannot be simply condensed into one master narrative. There is no doubt that Native Americans suffered enormously at the hands of white Americans. vimeo/97441230 Read More…
