==Biase==

I think that this is a biased article. Especially this paragraph:

"The Home Rule Party proved to be ineffective in the Territorial Legislature. During the period that they controlled both chambers of the legislature, chaos ensued.[citation needed] They refused to speak English and debated vehemently in the Hawaiian language. They attempted to pass bills granting blanket amnesties to native Hawaiian prisoners, tried to grant physician licenses to kahuna and tried to lower the US$3 tax on female dogs — a delicacy for some."

Why shouldn't newly annexed Hawaiian politicians debate in their Hawaiian majority language(and speak in a foreign language instead), reject their traditional healers(and not make them officially recognised) and not eat dogs(and try to lower taxes on them)? Those are no clues for chaos for me. I think that those informations relate to sources with the then usual white superiority mindset. Was there a real chance for independent policies without the support from european/american landowners etc. that overtrew the old government? 01:31, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
