Queen Lili'uokalani
On January 16th, 1895, two men arrived at Lili'uokalani's doorstep, arresting her and leading her to a room where she would be imprisoned. Her diaries were confiscated, her house ransacked, her lands claimed, and she was hidden away. Lili'uokalani was Hawaii's queen, and she ruled during one of the most tumultuous periods in its history. The arrival of American missionaries in Hawaii 75 years earlier marked the beginning of significant changes. These missionaries amassed power, built businesses, and laid claim to fertile lands, transforming them into plantations. They worked alongside the ali'i, the sacred Hawaiian nobility with close ties to the gods, who appointed missionaries to government positions, helping establish Hawaii as a sovereign kingdom with a constitutional monarchy.
