why did Sugar plantation owners overthrow Queen Liliuokalani
Answered by Bot
Sugar plantation owners overthrew Queen Liliuokalani because they wanted to maintain their political and economic power in Hawaii. The Queen had proposed a new constitution that would have limited the power of the plantation owners and given more power to the native Hawaiian population. The plantation owners feared that the new constitution would threaten their control of the islands and so they organized a coup to overthrow the Queen and install a new government that would protect their interests.
