Historical Political Cartoons About Hawaii

Historically, political cartoons expressed, shaped, reinforced, and reflected social, political, and racial attitudes, social conditions, and class structure. Therefore, some newspapers used cartoons as propaganda to shape public opinion. As mirrors to public knowledge, cartoons showed what the public knew about events and scandals. Because even illiterate people could understand the cartoons, some politicians feared them more than print editorials.

Cartoons illustrated how public figures and racial groups looked. In the 1800s, due to the pervasive racist attitudes at the time, non-Caucasion people would often be drawn with exaggerated physical features, such as large lips and nappy hair. Racist cartoons propagated negative stereotypes and implied that non-Caucasian people were primitive. On the U.S. mainland, some of the newspapers and magazines drew Queen Liliuokalani, the last reigning monarch of Hawaii, with features including feathers in her hair, nappy hair, thick lips, and bare feet, illustrating her as a primitive woman. The following cartoon portrays the queen as a dark-skinned, underdressed woman with thick lips who tries to give her crown to a pawnbroker for cash.

In the late 1890s, the United States was determining whether to annex Hawaii and other territories including Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. American political cartoons often illustrated the concept of manifest destiny, or America's geopolitical expansion through colonization. Some cartoons would draw the United States as Uncle Sam and the territories considered for annexation as children, as if the United States was their warden. The children would often be drawn with dark skin and sometimes with grass skirts, nappy hair, or bare feet.



Here, Uncle Sam, a personification of the United States, holds a knife, apparently about to cut a chicken. He asks, "Who'll get the wishbone?" to the two children, as they represent Cuba and Hawaii respectively. At the time of publication, the United States considered annexing them during the Spanish-American War.

In the 1890s, the Empire of Japan was considering which countries to colonize. This illustration portrays America's desire to annex Hawaii before Japan could, literally putting a lid on its ambitions.

The United States annexed Hawaii a year before, and this cartoon was published a week after the Fourth of July.

A year earlier, the United States annexed Hawaii without a war and was fighting in the Spanish-American War. In 1899 was the Philippine-American War, and the United States would eventually annex the Philippines in 1901.

Personifying the United States, Uncle Sam chases a bee representing Emilio Aguinaldo, the president of the Philippine Islands from March 22, 1897 to April 1, 1901. Two years after this cartoon's publication, at the end of the Philippine-American War, Aguinaldo would surrender control of the Philippines to the United States, which then annexed the country.

In the late 1800s, the Hawaiian Gazette's political cartoons often illustrated Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, the delegate representing Hawaii in the U.S. Congress from 1903 to 1922.

In the picture below, Kuhio shouts about political issues on a soap box. When "Duty" asks a citizen, "Have you registered?" he responds apathetically while yawning, "Oh there's plenty of time." Kuhio could not vote on issues presented in Congress. Hawaii did not have a vote, as it was not a U.S. state yet.

The Hawaiian Gazette's political cartoons also humorously illustrated local issues. For example, the illustration below makes fun of the Anti-Saloon League and the Women's Christian Temperance Union's campaign against the producers and sellers of beers in Hawaii. The woman from the W.C.T.U. pumps in water to a man labeled as "Honolulu Brewery," for a "water cure for brewery." In the background, seven people pump pressure to the water hose.

The political cartoon belwo depicts Queen Liliuokalani holding a paper which reads Scandalous Government and Gross Immorality on throne raised by bayonets of soldiers. The caption reads: We draw the line at this. Our good natured country may allow this administration to give our market to England, to sell our embassies, to Anglomaniac dudes, and cause the reduction of wages to the European standard. But... This is discussing how the Hawaiian government was scandal ridden and overthrown by wealthy sugar plantations . The Hawaiian government is no longer run by native Hawaiians, but by wealthy immigrants. Liliuokalani only appears to be in control, however, the soldiers bayonets are keeping her power in check. Her dishevelment also signifies the Hawaiians loss of wealth in their own country. Now only sugar plantation owners profit.

Queen Liliuokalani and the American Take-over of Hawaii
On January 16, 1893, United States Marines from the U.S.S Boston surrounded the palace of Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii.  The Queen was informed that a “provisional government” composed of American citizens had been established until such time as the island nation could be annexed by the United States.  Queen Liliuokalani peacefully yielded power to avoid bloodshed and put her faith in the government of the United States to restore sovereignty to its peaceful Pacific trading partner.  The story of how the U.S. came to invade this small island nation is a shameful but largely forgotten chapter in American history.


A Western Model Nation

By the mid-19th century Hawaii had developed a modern government as a constitutional monarchy.  American missionaries were firmly entrenched and Protestant Christianity was the dominant religion.  A modern economy based largely on exports had developed, dominated by merchants from the U.S.  Sugar was the most important export crop.  During the Civil War the North relied largely on Hawaiian sugar imports to replace Southern growers, and the industry boomed.  Hawaii’s reigning King Kalakaua did much to assist the sugar industry.  A reciprocity trade treaty was negotiated with the United States and agreements were made with Asian nations to bring in much needed labor.

Nevertheless, a movement grew among American citizens in Hawaii to gain greater control over the country.  Many favored annexation by the United States.  In 1887, these citizens drew up a new constitution with the intention of assassinating the king and establishing a republic.  At the last minute, fears of the reaction of the vastly larger native population caused the revolutionaries to rewrite the document, leaving the king in place but stripping him of power.  Hawaii had no standing army to speak of, and militia companies organized by the revolutionaries presented the new constitution to the king essentially at gunpoint, causing it to be dubbed the “Bayonet Constitution.”  Provisions in the constitution ensured that American business interests would remain in control of the government.


Queen Liliuokalani

When King Kalakaua died in January 1891, his sister, Queen Liliuokalani ascended the throne.  By this time revolutionaries were at a fever pitch over the McKinley Tariff of 1890, which caused a recession in the islands by withdrawing the safeguards ensuring a mainland market for Hawaiian sugar.  Under the 1887 constitution, power was essentially vested in the legislature and the cabinet of ministers, both controlled by American business interests, but Liliuokalani found a loophole.  The death of the former King allowed her to dismiss the cabinet, as the constitution makes no provision for their continuance after the death of a monarch.  Over the coming months, Liliuokalani selected new cabinets, only to have them removed by the legislature.  As the wrangling continued, Liliuokalani was forced to sign questionable bills passed by the legislature which would later be used by Americans to condemn her, including a lottery bill and legalized opium trade.

Coup

In Participant Account #1, an excerpt from Liliuokalani’s autobiography, Liliuokalani describes a great upwelling of support among native Hawaiians for a new constitution.  Supporters drew up a constitution that essentially restored the pre-1887 government.  Word reached American interests and became the pretext for a coup.  John L. Stevens, the American minister to Hawaii and an ardent supporter of annexation, called on troops from the U.S.S. Boston to enter the city and take control of Iolani Palace and various other governmental buildings.  In Account #3, we see that Stevens justifies this action “for the protection of the United States legation and United States consulate, and to secure the safety of American life and property.”  Yet in Account #2, Liliuokalani describes the city as peaceful that day.  A provisional government was established with Sanford B. Dole, one of the leaders of the coup, as President.  In Account #1 Liliuokalani describes the charges the revolutionaries made against her.  The provisional government almost immediately sends a delegation to Washington to seek annexation, as Stevens describes in his letters inAccount #3.

Repercussions
President Cleveland took office soon after and was unhappy with the situation.  He sent James H. Blount to replace Stevens as minister to Hawaii and to report on the situation.  Blount interviewed all parties and submited an exhaustive 1300 page report in which he concluded that the majority of Hawaiians supported Liliuokalani.  He implicated Stevens in the illegal overthrow of Liliuokalani and recommended she be restored.  Blount returned home and Albert S. Willis was sent as the new American minister to discuss the possibility of restoring Liliuokalani to the throne.  Liliuokalani describes in her autobiography that her discussions with Willis were confusing and led to the false charge in American newspapers that she would behead the revolutionaries if restored to power.  Congress intervened and on July 4, 1894, the Republic of Hawaii with Sanford B. Dole as president was declared and recognized by the United States government.  Official U.S. policy was to let Hawaii determine its own government.


Rebellion
In January 1895, an attempt was made by native Hawaiians and sympathetic Americans to overthrow Dole’s government.  In her autobiography, Liliuokalani describes how she is aware of the rebellion but takes no active part.  The rebellion swiftly failed.  A collection of antique firearms that belonged to her late husband was used to accuse Liliuokalani of maintaining a cache of weapons for the rebels.  She was imprisoned and told that she would be put to death along with the rebels.  Her autobiography describes her imprisonment and how her captors evidently change their mind about execution for fear of American public opinion.  Liliuokalani was presented with a document formally abdicating the throne and told the rebels would be executed if she did not sign.  Liliuokalani chose abdication to save the lives of her supporters.  Nevertheless, Liliuokalani was tried for treason and sentenced to pay $5000 and serve 5 years in prison at hard labor (which she doesn’t serve).  At her trial Liliuokalani made an eloquent statement defending her actions and pleading for the future of her nation, found in Account #4.

Not all Americans approved of what happened in Hawaii.  As previously mentioned, Americans took part in the rebellion of 1895, which attempted to restore Liliuokalani.  In his letters to Washington, Stevens speaks of  “ ‘liberals,’ as they term, themselves, composed mostly of the irresponsible white voters” who support Liliuokalani.  At least one American journalist was ousted by Dole for showing sympathy for the Queen.  Political cartoons from the time express concern in the American population over annexation.

Aftermath

In 1898, Hawaii was annexed to the United States through a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress under Present William McKinley.  Liliuokalani wrote her autobiography and continued to live in Hawaii until her death in 1917.  In 1993, on the one hundred year anniversary of the coup, President Clinton signed a bill into law formally apologizing to Hawaii for the illegal invasion by the United States.


Conclusions

It is comforting to remember the great things we have done as a nation.  America was founded on ideals of freedom and self-determination that are a model to the world.  Yet, we have not always lived by those ideals.  Greed and feelings of innate superiority have led our ancestors to make decisions we can scarcely be proud of.  Our past has a bearing on our present and our future.  Understanding the mistakes we have made helps us understand the implications of our future decisions.  If we persist in a view of the past that insists that America can do no wrong, we will scarcely question the course we take in the future.

Stories like the invasion of Hawaii must be told.  Liliuokalani, while she would not consider herself an American, was as intelligent and brave as any that we hold up as American heroes.  One need only read Account #4 to appreciate her eloquence.  By choosing to forget a shameful chapter in America’s story, we deny Liliuokalani the place she deserves in history.

History 110 - Dr. Gayle Olson-Raymer
A Chronology of American Imperialism in the Hawaiian Islands
Map of U.S. showing Hawaii
1830s   Presbyterian and Congregational missionaries founded schools to Christianize and Americanize the Hawaiians. As more Americans arrived, disease significantly diminished the native Hawaiian population.  With less labor for the sugar industry, American settlers imported Chinese and Japanese workers, thus building a multi-racial society over which the Hawaiians were gradually losing control.
1874 David Kalakaua became King of Hawaii. An an intent nationalist, the King worked hard to maintain Hawaiian sovereignty. (See video on the early history at http://ca.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/ha06.ush.ind.bayonet/the-bayonet-constitution/)
1875 The King signed the Treaty of Reciprocity between the US and Kingdom of Hawaii. The treaty gave tax free access to the United States market for sugar and other products grown in Hawaii. e. The treaty led to large investment by Americans in sugar plantations in Hawaii.
1885 Almost all Hawaiian sugar plantations were in control of the Americans, most of whom were the ancestors of the early missionaries. The planters began to demand a greater role in Hawaiian politics.
1887 The U.S. an Hawaii renewed the sugar treaty and Hawaii granted "... to the Government of the US the exclusive right to enter the harbor of Pearl River, in the Island of Oahu, and to establish and maintain there a coaling and repair station for the use of vessels of the US and to that end the US may improve the entrance to said harbor and do all things useful to the purpose aforesaid."
  • A group of American planters, missionaries, and businessmen formed a secret organization, the Hawaiian League. Their initial goal was to reform the monarchy.
  • American sugar growers forced King Kalakaua to accept a new constitution (known as the Bayonet Constitution) granting American and European foreigners the right to vote and shifting decision-making authority from the monarchy to the Hawaiian legislature.  In November , the legislature signed a treaty with the U.S. that allowed the Americans to build a naval base at Pearl Harbor.
1889 A young part-Hawaiian named Robert W. Wilcox staged an uprising to overthrow the 1887 Constitution. He led some 80 men, Hawaiians and Europeans in a predawn march to Iolani Palace with a new constitution for Kalakaua to sign. The king was away from the palace, and the Cabinet called out troops who forcibly put down the insurrection. Tried for conspiracy, Wilcox was found not guilty by a jury of Native Hawaiians, who considered him a folk hero.
1890   The McKinley Tariff Act eliminated Hawaii's tax free sugar trading status. Domestic US sugar growers were also given a bounty of 2 cents a pound so they could sell at lower prices than Hawaiian and other foreign growers.  Hawaiian sugar prices plunged 40%.  Americans in Hawaii began pressing for annexation to classify their sugar as domestic rather than foreign.  (Americans owned about 3/4 Photograph of Hawai's Queenof the island's wealth, while representing less than 10% of the population.)
1891 King Kalakaua died and his sister, Liliuokalani, assumed the throne.
1892   Queen Liliuokalani announced that she was planning a new constitution that would give her more discretionary powers to help her fight the American planters. (See videos "Hawaii's Last Queen, Part 5 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G5DVF0u2OE and Part 6 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WjQwC0h7yM )
1893     In January, American and European resident merchants forced the Queen from power and proclaimed a provisional government under the leadership of pineapple entrepreneur Sanford B. Dole.
During the overthrow, the American Minister to Hawaii, John L. Stevens, ordered the landing of armed U.S. Marines from the USS Boston in Honolulu which he said was necessary to protect lives and property. The Provisional Government of Hawaii immediately sent a treaty of annexation to President Benjamin Harrison who referred it to the Senate for ratification on February 15, 1893.
Three weeks later, Grover Cleveland, became President and soon thereafter withdrew the treaty and appointed former congressman James Henderson Blount as special representative to investigate the events surrounding the overthrow.
The investigation confirmed that self-interested Americans led a conspiracy and that Hawaiians opposed annexation, Cleveland tried to restore the monarchy - efforts that were rejected by Dole and his colleagues who arrested the queen and confined her to her quarters. (In the cartoon, "We draw the line at this,"Political Cartoon of Americans holding up Hawaiian Queen the caption reads "Our good-natured country may allow this administration to give our market to England, sell our embassies to Anglomaniac dudes, and cause the reduction of wages to the European standard. But...we draw the line at this." Description: Soldiers are holding up on points of bayonets a round platform upon which sits a caricature of Lili'uokalani, feathers in her hair, crown askew, barefoot, holding a paper reading "scandalous government", and "gross immorality". )
1894 On July 4, Sanford Dole announced the creation of the Republic of Hawaii and declared himself president. Many Hawaiians gathered arms for a counterrevolution to restore the monarchy.
1895 In January, an insurrection began to try to restore the Queen; after 10 days of fighting, most of the rebels were captured. The Queen was arrested and imprisoned on January 16th. She was tried, found guilty, and given the maximum sentence of five years imprisonment at hard labor and a $5,000 fine. While the sentence was not carried out, she remained a prisoner in the palace. (See Hawaii's Last Queen, Part 7 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFms1Qe4u54)
1898   Hawaiians submitted a petition to Congress with 29,000 signatures opposing annexation and asking that annexation be put to a public vote. They were never permitted to vote on the issue.
President McKinley signed a treaty to annex Hawaii, but it failed in the Senate after receiving 38,000 Hawaiian signatures opposing annexation. (International Law requires annexation to be accomplished via a treaty.) On July 4, the U.S. Congress approved annexation. On July 4, the U.S. Congress approved annexation of Hawaii via a joint resolution.
1900 Hawaii became a territory of the U.S. and Sanford Dole became its first governor.
1959 On August 21, Hawaii joined the US and became the 50th state.
1993 Congress passed and the President signed an Apology Resolution apologizing for the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii a century before.

Hawaii

Picture
Hawaii was a valuable region, for it was a great provisioning point, and a huge producer of cane sugar. As a result, many American planters wanted to annex Hawaii when the McKinley tariff raised prices of sugar. However, Queen Liliuokalani, who is depicted as a pear tree in the political cartoon, disagreed with annexation, and wanted the Hawaiians to retain control over the island. A revolt ensued, and the American minister of Honolulu, who is the monkey in the picture, assisted the revolt with troops. He even says, "The Hawaiian pear is now fully ripe" in his letter to Washington. Also, this is why Hawaii is depicted as a pear in this picture. Fortunately for Hawaii, President Grover Cleveland, who is the man standing in front of the pear tree, opposed the annexation, therefore protecting Hawaii.
