The correct answer is 3) Missionaries interested in converting Hawaiians to Christianity.
Americans' interest in Hawaii was inspired by Missionaries interested in converting Hawaiians to Christianity.
It all started with the first Christian missions that arrived in Hawai by the 1820s. The New England missionaries were the first to arrive a the islands and tried the conversion of the Natives. However, white Americans soon realized that Hawaii had plenty of lands to grow Sugar, and by the 1840s they saw a great opportunity to annexation. What followed was a series of turmoils and conflicts in Hawaii due to the permanent intervention of United States interest on the islands, until in 1959, Hawaii officially entered as the 50 state of the Union.
Answer:
George Washington (1732-99) was commander in chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) and served two terms as the first U.S. president, from 1789 to 1797. The son of a prosperous planter, Washington was raised in colonial Virginia. As a young man, he worked as a surveyor then fought in the French and Indian War (1754-63). During the American Revolution, he led the colonial forces to victory over the British and became a national hero. In 1787, he was elected president of the convention that wrote the U.S. Constitution. Two years later, Washington became America’s first president. Realizing that the way he handled the job would impact how future presidents approached the position, he handed down a legacy of strength, integrity and national purpose. Less than three years after leaving office, he died at his Virginia plantation, Mount Vernon, at age 67. George Washington was born on February 22, 1732, at his family’s plantation on Pope’s Creek in Westmoreland County, in the British colony of Virginia, to Augustine Washington (1694-1743) and his second wife, Mary Ball Washington (1708-89). George, the eldest of Augustine and Mary Washington’s six children, spent much of his childhood at Ferry Farm, a plantation near Fredericksburg, Virginia. After Washington’s father died when he was 11, it’s likely he helped his mother manage the plantation.
