The revоlutiоn thаt оverthrew the Hаwаiian monarchy and passed the government into the hands of the sugar planters was under way. In her palace, the wild-willed queen shuddered as she saw American troops file ashore to invade her territory. She was disposed to fight them, for she knew that this was cruel perversion of the ordinary relationships between sovereign nations, but the sugar planters quickly immobilized her loyal troops, and she was defenseless, stubborn woman in her mid-fifties, regal in appearance but totally unaware that the nineteenth century was ebbing to a close and taking with it the concepts of the government to which she adhered. However, in the dying moments of her reign she was not completely without support, for after her troops were disbanded without firing a shot, a squad of volunteer loyalists materialized from the alleys of Honolulu and marched to defend their queen. In their ranks, . . . waddled the old kanaka [a Hawaiian of Polynesian descent] maile [vine with fragrant leaves and bark] gatherer, Kimo. He had a musket that he had grabbed from man in a pool hall and he held his uniform—a pair of sagging pants and that was all—about is waist with a length of red rope. His hair had not been combed for some days, he needed a shave and he was barefooted, but like his companions he gave every evidence of being willing to die for his queen. The sparkling American troops with new rifles watched in amazement as the volunteers marched up to give them battle, but a courageous officer in whites ran unarmed to the leader of the irregulars and said, “There’s no war. The queen has abdicated.”~~Hawaii by James A. Michener Why did the queen abdicate?
