General History
Annexation of Hawaii 1898-1900
The United States president at the time that Hawaii became a state was William McKinley. His term was from March 4, 1897 to September 14, 1091. He was part of the Republican part, and his vice presidents were Garret Gobart, and Theodore Roosevelt.
There were many Notable events from 1898-1901. The Spanish-American war, which was a brief war that the United States waged against Spain in 1898. The cause of this was the Cuban struggle for independence, American imperialism, and the sinking of the U.S. warship Maine. This war was ended by the Treaty of Paris, leaving the United States with the land of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam. There was also the beginning of Anti-imperialism that the people of the United States didn’t want the United States to practice the act of Imperialism on weaker nations/countries. The first national bank was also set up during this time period so that people could set up bank accounts.
HAWAII V. MANKICHI was a Supreme Court case that had to do with a man that was charged with manslaughter in Hawaii. With the legislation of the Republic of Hawaii existing at the time of the annexation, it is legal notwithstanding it is not in compliance with the provisions of the Fifth and Sixth Amendments of the Constitution.
People of Hawaii angered because since the arrival of whites they had lost their native religion, their land, and their traditions; with the overthrow of the monarchy they lost even their independence. In 1897 there was a petition against the Annexation of Hawaii that was shot down by the Patriotic League.

Purchase of Alaska
Following the end of the civil war, America began its lost lasting policy of manifest destiny, the idea where the Americans were destined to expand west from the Atlantic to Pacific Ocean. Slaves had just gained freedom through the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, and the U.S was on its way to becoming a more united nation. Americans soon found themselves in competition with all the owners of the western lands. Russia was the first group to settle Alaska, however they lacked the financial resources to support major settlements or a military presence along the Pacific coast of North America and permanent Russian settlers in Alaska never numbered more than four hundred. Knowing their weakness, the Russians offered the territory to the United States, and Secretary of State William Seward quickly took up the Russian offer and on March 30, 1867. He agreed to a proposal from Russian Minister in Washington, Edouard de Stoeckl, to purchase Alaska for $7.2 million. The Senate approved the treaty of purchase on April 9, and President Andrew Johnson signed the treaty on May 28. Criticism in the press was harsh, portraying the newly acquired wasteland as “Seward’s Folly,” “Seward’s Icebox” or Johnson’s “polar bear garden.” Most people saw Alaska as a desolate wasteland that would never be settled. In 1896, however, Seward's investment paid off. Gold was discovered near the Klondike River, which immediately set off a widespread gold rush. In 1880 Joe Juneau and Richard Harris discovered gold on Gastineau Channel and the capital of Juneau is founded. Harris and Juneau named the creek where they found gold, Gold Creek, and they named Silver Bow Basin at the head of the creek.
