Which of the following was NOT a reason for the U. S annexation of Hawaii. A. Wealthy Americans already controlled the sugar and fruit industries

B. Hawaii would prove a location for refueling American ships sailing to Japan and China

C. Hawaii’s queen threatened the us with military action

A. Wealthy Americans already controlled the sugar and fruit industries.

Explanation:

Just because Americans control a large segment of a countries' market does not mean it gives them the right to overthrow the country. The other two reasons are correct.

B. Hawaii is strategically located near the middle of the North Pacific Ocean, and served as a chain of islands in which the US Navy can rendezvous. This led to what is later known as Pearl Harbor, a US navy shipyard, that would lead to the US emerging as a global superpower.

C. Wealthy "local" Americans were slowly taking power in the form of controlling market shares, capital, and land in the Hawaii. This is the core reason why the Queen of Hawaii would declare war on US residents, an indirect declaration of war on the United States. It would end with the US defeating and annexing Hawaii, becoming the 50th state of the US.

i think it should be slowed colonial western march

from the religious point of view, the conflicts began because of the enmity between catholic and protestants. in 1649, at the insistence of baltimore, the colonial assembly approved the act of religious tolerance, the first law in the colonies granting freedom of worship, though only for christians. in 1654, however, with the protestants of maryland in the majority, the act was revoked. the almost civil war broke out and order was not restored until 1658, when lord baltimore was returned to power.

on the issue of class conflict, the chesapeake region offered few economic opportunities to contract employees who had served their term of obligation. even with the small amount of capital needed to grow tobacco, former hired servants at best became subsistence farmers, a mature class for those called to rebellion, such as those proposed by nathaniel bacon. as the number of new hired workers declined because of limited chances of progress and reports of severe treatment, they were replaced by african slaves.

from the racial point of view, after 1660, the chesapeake colonies imposed laws that defined slavery as a lifelong and hereditary condition based on race. this made slaves profitable because planters could rely not only on their work but also on their children. the slave population, which numbered four thousand in virginia and maryland in 1675, grew significantly by the end of the century.
