I lived in "Hawaii T.H." (territory of Hawaii) when it became Hawaii, USA. What a party that was. Hawaii thiught 5hey would get statehood ahead of Alaska and so there was a record company label "49th State".

Not only a sad story, but also the cause of a great deal of underlying anger. The Queen was extorted into letting it happen because her people would have been wiped out.

Kitten666, your comment is very ignorant. You have spread in the world the misuse of America as equivalent of USA but it is incorrect. It will never change the fact that America is a continent. Do your research.
