It sure didn't talk about how Queen Lili'uokalani was plotting to cancel the constitution and create a new one to increase the power of her monarchy. That was unlawful and against the constitution of the time. This video didn't talk about how the Kingdom of Hawaii consisted of many different people and cultures. And it definitely didn't talk about the power struggle between Native Hawaiian elitists, royalists, immigrants, republicanists, etc. It didn't talk about the corruption of Kalākaua or Hawaii's numerous political, economic and other problems. In short, this video was propaganda, loaded with misrepresentation and omissions from history. Mostly lies and distortions.

@@2x4tigerbear77 It’s ironic you accuse Harris of omitting history when you literally did just that. While it’s true Liliuokalani was trying to make a new constitution, that was because she wanted to reverse the effects of the Bayonet Constitution.

@@sunnysied713 How on Earth did this go over your head?

@@ziggy6060 Do you know how it didn't go over my head?😏 Let me make it easier for you to understand... Did Kamehameha conquer and unify the islands on his own? No, he needed great help from westerners (British and Americans). Did the United States or Great Britain declare or claim Hawai'i as a colony? No. Did kanaka, westerners and asians build the country together? Yes, every step of the way. Were the westerners and asians denizens, citizens and royal subjects of Hawai'i? Yes. Did the westerners and asians live, work, pay taxes and support the Hawaiian Kingdom? Yes, the haole had a long history with Hawai'i from 1778 through 1893. Was the Hawaiian Kingdom a multiethnic, multicultural and multinational society? Yes. Did the Hawaiian Kingdom request protectorate status or annexation from other countries? Yes. King Kamehameha wanted to make Hawai'i a British protectorate (1800s). King Kamehameha III wanted to make Hawai'i a U.S. protectorate (1851) and later requested annexation by the U.S. (1854). King Kalākaua wanted to become a Japanese protectorate (1881). Did the United States 'steal' Hawai'i? No, the U.S. declined an annexation request in 1851 and 1893. The Republic of Hawaii requested annexation in 1898 (five years after the monarchy's overthrow) and the U.S. accepted. If the U.S. were greedy, landgrabbing colonialists, then why didn't they grab Hawai'i sooner? They weren't. Did the United States overthrow the Monarchy? No, the Morgan Report exonerated the U.S. soldiers and agents of any involvement in the Revolution of 1893. I suggest you look at the Committee of Safety and the Honolulu Rifles. There were 1,100 - 1,600 angry hawaiians who overthrew Queen Lili'uokalani after she attempted an illegal and unconstitutional power grab. Some Hawaiians wanted to maintain the monarchy, some wanted a republic and some wanted annexation. Was Hawai'i an American colony? No, it was a country that got annexed by the U.S. after the Revolution of 1893 led to the creation of a provisional government and later the Republic of Hawaii. The rebels had control of the government and requested annexation. Did some colonists object to secession from the British Empire? Yes. Did some Texans object to annexation? Yes. Did some Californians object annexation? Yes. Did some kanaka object to Kamehameha's conquest of Hawai'i? Yes. Does it matter? No, the government decides what happens with the territory. There's no requirement for public referendum or plebiscite. Did Native Hawaiians wanted Statehood? Yes, Native Hawaiian activists lobbied hard for Statehood. In 1919, Prince Kūhio even wrote the first Statehood Bill. Did 93% of Hawaiian voters choose statehood? Yes. Did the hawaiians receive all the same rights as Americans? Yes. The Organic Act of 1900 gave Hawaiians U.S. citizenship and the Statehood Act of 1959 gave them representation in Congress and the right to vote in federal elections. See, the U.S. didn't 'steal' Hawai'i.😉

"and here i was thinking we had won"

The history has not been censored. Go literally anywhere and you will see the true story. We do not hide let alone censor our history.

@Hell Razor To say that it is not taught in any American high school is a dangerous assumption. You are classifying "any and all" as public high schools, which have a lower standard of education and aren't so good about giving the full story. However private and charter schools do a much better job at teaching the full story. The same is true in Germany from my experience.

@Hell Razor We did not genocide the Hawaiians. We committed very few war crimes during WW2 in comparison to the USSR or the British Empire, and the majority of them were against German Pilots or Soldiers, people who deserved what they received. Besides, in comparison with other historical events, the annexation of Hawaii and the treatment of natives are not very important in US history, it isn't worth teaching it. Also, curriculum varies from state to state, and it can also vary from school to school, just for your information.

@Hell Razor I do not prove this point exactly, I did research on my own time, here it is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_war_crimes_during_World_War_II#United_Kingdom The list of British and Soviet war crimes is far longer than that of American War crimes, and most American War crimes were against the German soldiers and pilots, as well as concentration camp wardens. Look it up anywhere and you will see that the was no Hawaii Genocide. I even used a VPN to relocate myself to Palau, and there is NOTHING saying that there was a Hawaiian genocide. You clearly made this up for the purposes of proving a point. I believe that YOU are the one that needs to go learn real history. The United States does not teach us to be slaves that obey the system. If that was true, there would be no progressive people like Democrats, whose whole ideology is based off of challenging the system as it is. I do question the system, for instance why do certain classes need to be taught to students? Like Language Arts. It is quite useless to know this if you want to be something like a surgeon or construction worker, etc. Perhaps you should educate yourself first before you insult my education. You are seeing false history, and history that never happened. You are the true failure of the system here, not me.

Most of America was colonized by the french, biritsh and spanish long before America was even a country. Only Oregon, Washinton and British Columbia was considered colonized at the time.

Hae Hawai'i (Hawaiian flag) was inspired by the allegiance to Britain. They acknowledged Hawai'i sovereignty along with many other countries of the world. The flag was kept as the state flag.

@@James-ip8xs that's part of history being erased here and replaced with US history

No, Hawai'i wasn't stolen. Queen Lili'uokalani prorogated the legislature, abrogated the existing constitution, unilaterally tried to create her own constitution, wanted to strengthen her autocratic power and use her royal guard to defend her revolution. She even wrote about it in her autobiography, Hawaii's Story. She attempted an illegal and unconstitutional power grab that led to her overthrow. When her royal subjects found out about her secret plot, they were NOT happy, to say the least.

His research is terrible. He omitted or misrepresented so many details. Johnny Harris is an activists and propagandist, not a historian who cares about objective and unbiased discussion of historical events.

@John Freddy We can talk about any part of Hawaii's history. We have to look at ALL perspectives to understand the real history. That way, we can remain objective and fair. History isn't simple, cut and dry and black and white. It's often complex and messy.

@@johnniewaiker6203 don't believe them when they tell you that. My mom is from Ireland and when I talk about colonialism she sometimes gives me the same BS, even when I say it's not the same because Ireland has independence. But the biggest part that's BS is anyone saying that Irish people are "over it." My Irish grandfather hated the British government until he died. Even my mom - I told her about something I learned in class the other day about a judge from 100 years ago who was against Irish independence and I still have to learn about him today and my mom went on a rant immediately and said "don't get me started." Then I said "oh I thought you were over it?" My mom only ever brings up being "over" things with Ireland as soon as I try to talk about colonialism in other places - she's not actually over it, it's just she doesn't have to deal with it anymore because she doesn't live there and Ireland has independence because people like her grandfather fought for it. She just doesn't want to acknowledge that she's like the British now colonizing other people. So don't believe anyone who try and use Irish history to shut down discussions of colonialism. And especially if anyone thinks Ireland is "over it," they should learn a little bit more about Northern Ireland including decades of bombs that went off there....

Yea as a Native Hawaiian nobody gives sht about his apology it meant nothing to us

Who owes you an apology?

Kalani Volkoff Watch the video

Here’s what I’m saying. The Hawaiians were waring against each other stealing each others land, killing each other. Until Kamehameha United the islands. So what if my ansestors were on the loosing side becoming slaves to kamehameha?.. this is the way of the world. So who to blame. Some Hawaiian people know that no man can own the land. It is not yours to own. If you can own the land, you could own the sky and sea as well.

Kalani Volkoff What I am commenting about was the fact that Clinton made an apology, acknowledging the fact that what the US did was horrible, but instead of actually doing something about it, he continues to allow, for example, futher damaging sacred sites. Meaning that the apology wasnt at all an apology, just using the american past for his own benefit.

The Marquesians were the FIRST aboriginal settlers of Hawai'i. Then the Tahitians came, took over all the islands, instituted a feudal caste system and oppressed the maka'āinana with harsh kapu religous law. The chiefdoms fought for centuries over land and power until... Kamehameha waged a 20 year war campaign with 12,000 warriors and 1,000 war canoes to conquer all the island chiefdoms. He STOLE all the āina, mana and wealth for HIS _Kingdom_ of *Hawai'i.* He was a warlord and an imperialist. His aumakua was the god of war, Kū. And wage war he did. There's a very good reason why the island chain is called _Hawai'i_ and the Big Island is also called _Hawai'i._ ;) The haole have never fought any wars with Hawai'i or the kanaka maoli.

If your logic is pursued relentlessly, then the English colonists/insurgents stole the colonies from Britain in their war of rebellion from 1775-1781. Just consistently applying your logic. The country that resulted from this theft subsequently engaged in imperialistic wars of expansion across the continent against Mexico and the aboriginal people, resulting in more theft. Next, they stole land from Spain, the Philippines, Colombia, Germany, Italy, Japan, Hawaii. Or do you exempt them from your logic for some peculiar reason?

It is of the highest importance, in my opinion, that education in the English language should become more general, for it is my firm conviction that unless my subjects become educated in this tongue, their hope of intellectual progress, and of meeting the foreigners on terms of equality, is a vain one." King Kamehameha IV stated in His Majesty's Speech at the Opening of the Legislature (1856) that he was satisfied with the Board of Education's progress on English instruction "It is particularly gratifying to know that instruction in the English language is prosecuted with so much success among my native subjects. I recommend you to make as liberal a provision for the support of this class of schools as the state of my Treasury will admit." And this *Hawaiian Kingdom Policy* was very successful in adopting the English language as the main language of education and instruction. 1881: 66% English, 33% Hawaiian 1887: 84% English,16% Hawaiian 1892: 95% English, 5% Hawaiian 1896: 97% English, 3% Hawaiian The U.S. didn't ban hula. Hula was banned by Queen Ka'ahumanu in 1830 (because nudity was frowned upon by Christians), but most people didn't listen. Hula was still practiced privately and even publicly practiced, but with clothes. It was a loose 'ban'. In 1874, King Kalākau welcomed hula officially back into the palace. Land was always a problem. Before the Hawaiian Kingdom existed, the ali'i classes owned and controlled all the land. The maka'āinana were just feudal serfs. During the Hawaiian Kingdom, the ali'i and wealthy people still owned most of the land. The Great Māhele was a land policy failure. Now, the same problems exist. The U.S. didn't create a land problem... BUT they can definitely make things better.

Yeah ..its great. So you still sprak hawai language?

This video was super shallow. I have no issue with the video crapping all over the US and it revealing the sad take over of Hawaii, but this is like a propaganda 10 minute primer that is also scripted In a way to manipulate your emotions into one direction. It’s not meant to be educational besides for people who literally knew nothing about Hawaii, but it may be worse since it kinda dumbs down Hawaii’s insanely Rich history. Hawaii is suffering but Hawaii is not just a helpless victim. Hawaii is a key character in the world. It’s the only Indigenous “American” language to be growing in use. It’s struggles are real. But so is historical struggle. Where Hawaii needs to be right now is hard to say. But I think it can be achieved. I don’t know how exaclty

See its normal every powerful group in any region tries to control in whatever way they can but the European rulers were global oppressors and rest of the rulers un asia and south america africa were local oppressors and usa and canada was amalgamation of European in aplace which has more resources land to operate and they did the same what their separate rulers from europe did global expansion and ruling and business ,every country where caucasian were born or taken over a new land and never left are far more richer than any other countries (where the resources and people were exploited for the benefit of the settlers and they left the regions with almost everything nothing to spare for the locals) So in present day we call them developed and developing countries respectively. Btw this is not a hate sort of comment i wrote this cuz u said u were emotional for a small region they are in a condition where living standard are much higher than that of any developing countries has.

@@sidjtd Wtf are you trying to say? He literally said that Hawaiian culture is still thriving even despite US colonization

This is barely this history. Watched this Smithsonian doc for more detail. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d55yY6xisc7Fl4E.html

Oh and also you say in the video that the white plantation owners were a minority but so were the native Hawaiians most of the country was immigrants from Asia or other islands

#harrislearnhistory

I agree, though aspects of what happened to native Hawaiians were unjust, Hawaii would have been just like modern Western Samoa. I dont think the monarchy would have made it through WWII.

@@kimihifi1 hell I don’t think the monarchy would survive Going into the 20th century probably being deposed in 1870-1890

that wouldn't change no matter who "owned" land there. even if it was native hawaiians who owned all the comercial/tourist locations it wouldn't be you. Bill Gates being a white billionare does not in anyway benefit other white people. races do not own wealth or land individuals do.

We miss you. We love you & we always will. We hope you are able to come HOME soon.

Black people can relate. I feel my identity is so lost I can only cling to a color. I hate cruel colonialism and white washing! It’s okay to be proud of your skin! Whether in Mexico they speak Spanish from their oppressors in Spain. Brazilians speak Portuguese from their oppressors in Portugal. The Haitians speak French! The Fujians, New Zealanders, Australians etc etc!!!! Across cultures darker people suffer most, why! Because they don’t want you to realize your strength is like a wild horse. Don’t let them keep your spirit caged like a tamed horse! “Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere!” - MLK Jr. We need to fight back against the brainwashing /white washing media that teaches us to hate our skin!

@@Revealthereal_ you are more than welcome to go back to a culture of cannibalism witch doctor medical care and raping children because it cures aids. do you even realize everyone who even speaks xyz language most likely if you go back far enough came from a different culture. i speak english now by my close ancensors were not english but german. have I been oppressed because I speak a new language.

Going by your username, is Kaneohe your homeland? It’s devastating when Native Hawaiians can’t even afford to live on their own rightful land. So many of my Native Hawaiian friends moved to the mainland, especially to Las Vegas area. What is Hawaii without the Native people and their culture there? I look at the recent Kakaako/Ward theater area’s gentrification and can’t help but feel sad seeing so little local businesses/people and lots of foreign and mainland US folks buying the high rise condos as their summer homes/second homes. It reminds me a lot of New Zealand’s housing situation. I have to remind myself I’m technically in Hawaii when I walk through the new Whole Foods there. It is vastly different from the Kakaako I remember..from the Kakaako the Native Hawaiians and their ancestors remember…Driving through Laie I see plenny “keep Hawaii Hawaiian” and “keep the country country” signs.. Rightfully so..it’s emotional and so complex; the damage done to Hawaii is irreversible

THANK YOU! It was they who started the take over of powers across the world. England is the father of the United States, so they have no moral leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing America for imperialism that they invented. I am not saying that I approve. Hawaii was a sovereign, monarchical nation that was unjustifiable usurped by America. But if there are any British people in this comment section who are trying to use this horrible incidence of imperialism as another example to hate America, I think perhaps they better shut their lips. They don't get to have this one. Maybe go and ask China and India how they feel about the British before they start pointing fingers at us.

'Anglos caused most of the world's problems' (David Cameron, British Prime Minister, 2010-2016). Anglo clans practiced centuries-long Slavery; from Caribbean to North & South America, by wiping out indigenous Native people originally living there, by replacing them with millions of slaves brought from Africa, by enslaving them and living off on their blood and sweat. Isn't it shocking to learn that Anglo invaded nine out of ten nations, all but 22 nations in the whole wide world ? Moreover, Anglo practiced centuries-long Colonialism in over 50 nations, by living off on their blood and sweat, as well as on those bountiful lands for natural mineral resources, which were essentials requirement for industrial revolution. Anglo still Colonized many parts of the world, including two vast bountiful Continents; North America and Australia Continents. Among the five main Anglo nations; Britain, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, all but Britain is looted from others.

You can thank the Caribbeans for giving it to the Europeans 400 years earlier. Globalization was slow back then.

That happened everywhere in the Americas and Oceania. Africa/Eurasia was one big petri dish of disease (It will probably happen if space aliens come to earth)

@ luh luh Pilit na Pilit Types of "pox" (veneral disease) as well as skin diseases existed in both the Old and New Worlds. After 1492 the New World versions traveled to Europe. The Afro-Eurasia varities travelled to the New World. Oceania may have had fewer diseases than the Americas; but those people also had less resistance (due to millennia of isolation) than those in the mainlands of the Americas

@being gay is not normal Human sacrifice occurred in Hawaii. (I'm not so sure about the young girls being thrown into the volcanoes; but human sacrifice of that type would have been rare since the natives did not go up to the crater when it was errupting.) "Human sacrifices were performed in Hawaii as late as the 19th century. It may have served as a way for elite members of the island to help maintain their control over the population. Europeans who visited the island recorded the practice, with one famous painting showing a person being clubbed to death while lying on a rock. " Reference: www.livescience.com/59514-cultures-that-practiced-human-sacrifice/2.html

Hawai’i: But we were already free!

Amazing? It's not accurate history. The US Gov't did not 'agree' with the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy and 'revolutionaries' were ordered by Cleveland to return the Islands to the Monarchy. They ignored him and formed a Republic.

@@leadwipe the US government deliberately sent John Stevens to the Hawaiian Kingdom to be its Minister Extraordinary and Plentipotentiary to that country, to facilitate revolution and annexation. If you can, get a hold of a copy of Lorrin Thurston's Memoirs of the Hawaiian Revolution, or Tom Coffman's Nation Within: The History of the Occupation of Hawaii. Thurston is a primary source/witness who conspired with US Minister Stevens to overthrow the Hawaiian government. In May, 1892 he, Thurston, went to Washington DC to ascertain the Harrison administration's attitude towards overthrowing the Hawaiian government and annexing Hawaii. He was very encouraged by Harrison's message to him. Coffman's book is meticulously researched from primary and verifiable secondary sources and is annotated with source citations.

@@leadwipe not an accurate account of history? The US government did not approve of the overthrow of the Hawaiian government? What is your authoritative and verifiable source for your saying that? Is that source primary documentation or a primary witness? Is that source in agreement with other primary documents or witnesses? Is it a source that has researched from those resources? What are your qualifications, and, or credentials that one may check out and verify, that anyone should believe you, since you cite no source or qualification for your statement; or are you merely stating your personal and unqualified opinion? While it's true that Cleveland did tell the Dole gang to step down, your preceding statement calls into question your sources and qualification.

The USA hasn't changed much in what it does earlier it used to occupy foreign land now it supports countries like Israel that occupy foreign land

The best colonizer

@MichT you do know that the reason America was able to make those inventions in the first place is by sucking the resources of these countries, right?

Brah, it was a forest fire in a hurricane that was caused by downed power lines. Hawai'i is always full of crazy conspiracy theories. Everything is always X-files over here.

The only natives of America aren’t the American Indians. Read. Expand your knowledge. Most structures believed to be built by Indians weren’t. Interviews with the occupants found that almost all structures were here when they arrived. The mound builders of central Arkansas didn’t build the mounds. They were there when they arrived. . The Vikings were here as early as 1000BC

1000AD correction

So what do you think it means when they say "go back to your country"? Do you think they are saying it to all non-whites, just because they are not white? Do you think such jingoism is only based on race?

Idk who youre dealing with but you get so much shit in this woke culture that its not worth it to even be an asshole like that,

wildhorse891 Caucasians "white people" and brown people and black people all had army's. They didn't have a whole lot to do after building an empire so they attacked other smaller villages and towns, took whatever they wanted and told them they would now be paying for protection against the enemy they feared the most, the tax man. This is what they did to show power and control. If you were weak you died if you were strong you would be spared and forced to join the group in the battles , for your life. By the way, do you have any idea what kind of timeline you are talking about when you say the white European Armys acquired said stolen property from the Indigenous people? Do you have any perspective on the number of people that made up the indigenous population. I'll tell you because had you known you wouldn't have said something that stupid. 60,000,000., That's the population of indigenous people around 1492. Now, do you know how long it was fought for? I'll tell you that too. Over 400 years. So, you and the rest of the uneducated bozos should research what you think is true before you type gibberish. If you believe the land was taken by a slap fight and celebrated with a turkey dinner you are a fool. If you believe that the Caucasian settlers "white people " suffered no casualties, again hundreds of thousands died on both sides and to the victor goes the booty.

@@alapakeheanu4776 it’s a meme

I agree, there was a great deal of historical information that was intentionally omitted and withheld to push a slanted, personal narrative. It's insane. The revolution of January 17, 1893 was caused by Queen Liliuokalani's attempt to prorogate the legislature, unilaterally create a new constitution (without the constitutional power to do so), promulgate this new constitution with a sudden declaration (surprise!) and use the military to suppress any opposition to her power grab. On January 14, she was ready to sign and proclaim the new laws. She wrote to Blount that the "members of the diplomatic corps had been invited; also the members of the supreme bench and members of the legislature, besides a committee of the Hui Kalaiaina." She also told Blount that she instructed her guards and military to be ready to suppress any challenge (riots, rebellion, etc) from her opposition: "They assured me they would be ready, and I gave strict injunctions of secrecy." The Queen had been secretly plotting a revolution to overthrow the government and reestablish an absolute monarchy. Then everyone found about her 'secret' plan. Everything went downhill fast for her. People weren't going to curtsy, sit idly and let her smile and wave as she led a revolution. Her opposition mobilized, organized and overthrew her with their own revolution. And the rest is history. Like I said, Queen Lili instigated her own overthrow, despite the advice of her own cabinet and supporters. She was an inexperienced, naive leader who thought she could make sweeping (illegal) changes via royal proclamation. Governor Cleghorn was a royalist, ally and _brother-in-law_ of Queen Liliuokalani. He was angry and disappointed by her plot to overthrow the government and failure to listen to counsel. On January 28, 1893, he wrote "I have never given the Queen anything but good advice. If she had followed my advice, she would have been firm on the throne, and Hawaiian Independence safe, but she has turned out a very stubborn woman and was not satisfied to Reign but wished to Rule." Queen Lili kicked a hornets nest and was stung by her own arrogance. She cost the country its independence. American Minister Stevens was following the instructions of his predecessor, Minister Miller, who received instructions from the Secretary of State of the first _President Cleveland_ Administration. Cleveland was president during the Bayonet Constitution of 1887. Secretary of State Thomas F. Bayard sent written instructions to then American Minister George W. Merrill that if another revolution happens in Hawaii, then they must protect American commerce, lives and property. Bayard clearly stated that, "the assistance of the officers of our Government vessels, if found necessary, will therefore be promptly afforded to promote the reign of law and respect for orderly government in Hawaii."After the revolution that lead to the Bayonet Constitution, _British_ Minister Wodehouse requested that the Americans keep a warship docked in Hawaiian port in case another revolution happened. In July 1889, there was a rebellion and Merrill ordered the deployment of marines and sailors to protect Americans. John L. Stevens (had replaced Merrill) and followed those official instructions during the overthrow of 1893. The American soldiers were peacekeepers who didn't participate in any government building raids, patrol the streets, fire any shots or provide any material support to the insurgents. Often, the Americans would land, come ashore and practice military drills (prior to the overthrow). During the 1893 revolution, the soldiers marched past Iolani Palace, lowered their flags to show neutrality and saluted the Queen. These are hardly aggressive actions. The Americans then remained in their bunkers and did absolutely nothing because no violence broke out against American interests. There was no invasion or military occupation. The monarchy was overthrown by a homegrown coup of 1,100-1,600 insurgents (who were citizens and royal subjects), Queen Liliuokalani surrendered and abdicated her power WITHOUT fighting to defend her country from internal, domestic threats, which was her constitutional duty as a monarch.
