I do think the stroke of a pen eliminates the colonial acquisition of this sovereign nation. Most Hawaiians have not forgotten and do not agree with this designation. Interesting all of that was left out. If the truth of a nation's history is deliberately ommitted what happens to that nation? Look at the present collective fallout that emanates from such actions. We all pay in the long run and it is often not nice. Teach the truth today and ee are most likely to repeat earlier wrongs and more likely to act right in the present to avoid a negative historical past. Easy.

snajr, It was a territory. Our U. S. Navy used Pearl Harbor as a base of operations for the Pacific Fleet.

Also Mom was expecting me, I was born April 27,1942. His name was Marvin Pierson, he never got to see me. Very sad holidays for our family.

My mother's baby brother was stationed at Pearl Harbor in 1941 when it was bombed, his body never recovered . He was only 18yrs old. He had finished basic training and was supposed to come for a furlough on Christmas . But all sailors were confined at base inafter the bombing.in 1941

Player #2406803, Hawaii was made into a state, contrary to what they would have us believe, not because we wanted to "help" the indigenous natives, but because it's strategic positioning in the Pacific allowed us to extend our military reach by establishing a naval and marine presence in the area to 1: help protect the mainland U.S., 2: avail our forces an early assault platform to launch counter offense missions, 3: to place our weaponry in more logistical range of (specifically) Russia, and others!
The 50s was the height of the cold war, Russia wasdeemed to be the biggest threat from abroad, and Hawaii was the ideal location to meet, and counter, an attack!

Player #2406803, Do you think females should be able to wear clothes? Do you think you should be able to look leaders in the eye? Normal people to own land?? And yet you want Hawaiian monarchy back.

Ruairi, there was briefly a 49 star flag for the times that Hawaii was a state, but Alaska wasn't. My aunt had one from a funeral.
Ruairi
Player NéNé, I was born when there was 49 states. wish I had that flag, don't think there was one.

Player #2406803, in order for a territory to become a state, there has to be a vote with the majority of the people approving to becoming a state.

Donna
Player #2406803, I bet the Hawaiians get all the benefits of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights the rest of the U.S. get. I want to take a cruise in Hawaii. It will be expensive since I live on the East Coast. I really want to see Hawaii and Alaska. I understand you see more of Hawaii on a cruise than Island hopping via Helicopters.
