Richard,
The overthrow of the kingdom and the government of Hawaii at the time was indeed an illegal act and if I was a citizen of Hawaii at the time, I too would have objected to what had happened and having the United States annex the once island kingdom. Since that time, a small group of people has always been complaining about the overthrow but most of the residents were proud to be a part of the United States as a territory. Before Hawaii could be admitted into the union of American states in 1959, the people had to vote if they favored statehood and both of my parents proudly cast a vote in favor. I was not eligible to vote until the following year in 1960 but if I was, I would have proudly voted in favor of statehood. The people at the time, approved statehood by a huge margin and Hawaii was admitted into the union on August 21, 1959.
I am looking forward to seeing PRINCESSS KAIULANi this weekend and I know I will enjoy it but my main concern is how a small group of people who had been trying to get Hawaii to secede from the union would use the movie to incite anger and get more people to join their cause to restore the Hawaii monarchy and a royal government. I know this will never happen because the majority of people in Hawaii are proud Americans like myself and would never be in favor of it.
MODERATOR: I hope you do not consider this post political, if you do, I apologize and you may delete it
