The Great Mahele was an act proposed in 1848 allowing Hawaiian land to be privately owned, and the rest redistributed. The occurrence of this event not only affected Hawaiians back then, but still to this day impacts them. The King continued to divide land for the government and maka’ainana could get land for active labor. The king also shared his land between himself and 245 more ali’i; his land- “Crown Lands” and ali’i- “Konohiki Lands” (Mahele Notes). The Mahele of 1848 was a land division separated into 4 different categories: land belonged to the king, land belonged to the ali’i or chiefs, land that could be purchased by the foreigners who lived in Hawaii, and land worked by the commoners or maka’ainana. The Mahele was unjustified because
King Kamehameha the III I in january 27, 1848 enacted land distribution acts in 1848. was the leader of the Proposition of the Great Mahele. The proposition was to allow private ownership to land for the first time ever for Hawaii to foreigners. These foreigners were thought to be missionaries or American businessmen, which could make a huge positive impact to the King and his people. Thanks to this ordinance Hawaii was able to assimilate to the Americas in a very profitable way. The land commission The land should be divided into equal thirds. 1/3 for King, ali`i, 1/3 government and 1/3 for the people. The opposing side would argue that the Great Mahele caused Hawaiians to be stripped of land and it may have been correct in certain aspects,
Manifest Destiny made its claims on the islands of Hawaii, as we read about in the chapter, “Overseas Expansion”. While we learn about some of the history of their government and economy, the article “The 1897 Petition Against the Annexation of Hawaii” found at the end of the chapter gives a deeper focus of the history of the government. The author (name unknown) starts the article in 1778 when Captain James Cook arrives in Hawaii, as European influence began to alter their government system. From chiefs or kings, to being unified under monarch King Kamehameha, to a constitutional monarchy, then to an elected government (with the monarch still ceremonial head). David Kalakaua was elected to the throne in 1887, but that same year was forced to agree to a new constitution under threats of violence from the businessmen’s party. This came to be known as The Bayonet Constitution, which we read some about in our chapter. The new constitution retracted the monarchy’s executive power, placed members of the businessmen party in the cabinet, and deprived a large amount of the native Hawaiian’s of their right to vote. Kalakaua’s sister, Lili'uokalani, succeeded him upon his death in 1891, and the natives persuaded her to draft a new
According to Jean Iwata Cachola who wrote Land Ownership, Hawaiians originally Hawaiians had 33% of the land, the rest going to the government, but eventually the divisions changed and they ended with less than 1%. The Resident Alien Act of July 10, 1850, gave foreigners the right to buy land in fee simple. Fee simple means that land is owned rather than leased it. It also means that people who own land may sell that land or pass it on to their sons and daughters. This is the way the foreigners understood and wanted for Hawaii. The Kuleana Act of August 1850 made it possible for Hawaiians to own land in fee simple. Many Hawaiians lacked experience and knowledge to own land, so it was taken away. According to Richard Borreca of the Star-Bulletin, Many Hawaiians couldn’t afford taxes, so their land was auctioned off. The Hawaiians who didn’t have land had no materials to live. After all of that, Hawaiians lost almost all of the land

After the death of Kalaniopuu in 1782 Islands were divided between Kiwalao, Kalaniopuu’s son. Kiwalao was declared heir to rule. Kiwalao was briefly the 7th Ali’i of Kohala, 5th Ali’i of Kona and 3rd Ali’i of Kau, and thus ruler of the island of Hawaii. But what Kiwalao did was what started problems. Kiwalao gave the honor to Keawema’uhili and he gave himself and others large pieces of land and districts. Kamehameha, his uncles and Kiwalao’s half brother Keouakuahu’ula felt cheated out of the best land creating rivalries. The several Kona district chiefs, unhappy with Kiwala‘o’s division of lands made Kamehameha their leader. It started in Ke’ei by Keouakuahu’ula who had cut down coconut trees and killed people. This was kekuhaupio’s Home and

On the 21st of August 1959, a small colony of inhabited Polynesian volcanic rock located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean became the 50th state named “Hawai’i”. Before Hawai’i became the 50th State, foreigners from the United States attempted to annex Hawai’i from its people and the Hawaiian Monarch for political and military gains. It all started as far back as 1893 when Hawai’i was ruled by Hawaiian Kings and Queens. All three attempts at annexation the United States Diplomats and foreigners failed until 1959 when Hawai’i declared Statehood.

Anthony’s first paid position was headmistress of the girls department of Canajoharie Academy in 1846. During this time she was deeply troubled by the fact that women received much lower wages than their male counterparts for equal work. She returned to the family farm in Rochester New York when Canajoharie Academy closed in 1849. At this time she began to be fully involved in reform work. She was introduced to Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851 who had played a key role in organizing the Seneca Falls convention in 1848, which was the first women’s rights convention in the United States. The two of them formed a lifelong friendship and ever after were constant partners in the battle for women’s rights and social justice. Their relationship was complimentary: Stanton did the writing and came up with ideas while Anthony excelled at organizing and delivering speeches. Her methods of raising public awareness and building grassroots support for social causes are still in use by political parties today.
