So tell us what’s good about imperialism. Truth can hurt. Are American blacks better off coming here as slaves? I say yes.
Were Hawaiians better off before Captain Cook arrived? I say yes.
Maybe not. But they were better off when Hawaii was still a sovereign monarchy.
Some people start their morning with just coffee.
Do you think Hawaii would have stayed independent? I honestly think that if it wasn’t the U.S., it would have someone else. Would Hawaii have faired better under another power wanting a Pacific colony?
