True/False

1 answer

False. President Grover Cleveland opposed the annexation of Hawaii. After the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893, Cleveland sought to restore Queen Liliuokalani to her throne and was against the annexation of Hawaii, believing that the United States had wronged the Hawaiian people. It wasn't until the administration of President William McKinley that Hawaii was officially annexed in 1898.
