| dc.description.abstract | Protestant missionaries came to Hawai‘i in 1819, and with them they brought immense change to the islands, eventually playing a role in the annexation of the kingdom. This paper seeks to understand the true role of the Protestant missionaries in nineteenthcentury Hawai‘i, and how they were involved in the annexation and the subsequent Hawaiian cultural suppression. This cultural suppression is significant because when the United States took over the islands, an entire monarchy was overthrown. With the reignition of the Hawaiian culture revival, it is key to understand how it was dampened in the first place. The missionaries were eager to bring the people salvation in the eyes of the Protestant God, especially after disillusionment with their traditional religion. However, after economic hardship, they lost sight of that goal and, working with the merchant class, brought down the monarchy and suppressed the celebration of Hawaiian culture. | |
