Queen Liliuokalani was deposed in January 1893 by a group of American and European businessmen, with the support of U.S. Minister John Stevens and a contingent of U.S. Marines.

The Queen surrendered with hopes of being reinstated by President Cleveland. He had motivations to want her throne restored mainly on moral grounds. Because he opposed the conquest of a lesser state by a greater one as well as any form of annexation that would only be an excuse for illicit territorial acquisition.

Answer: He thought americans acted shamefully

Explanation:

Sugar plantation owners, mostly white Americans, plotted against Queen Liliuokalani, having US Marines forcing her to abdicate the throne and placing her under house arrest because they believed that having Hawaii annexed by the United States, would make their tariff obstacles disappear.

President Grover Cleveland, a fervent anti-imperialist, thought Americans had behaved shamefully in Hawaii, so he withdrew the annexation treaty to restore Liliuokalani to her throne, but the issue couldn´t be resolved under his government.

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ Slave \ owners \ did \ not \ pay \ slaves \ for \ their \ work}}$

Explanation:

Let's analyze each answer choice. Remember, we are looking for what life under slavery was like.

A. Slave owners discouraged slaves from adopting elements of white culture

This is not true. Slaves were encouraged to assimilate and abandon their own African cultures.

B. Slave owners did not pay slaves for their work

This is <u>true</u>. Slaves were treated horribly, forced to do strenuous tasks for many hours, and never compensated for their hard work.

Even though we just found the likely answer, let's check the last two.

C. Enslaved African Americans had equal rights to those of white people.

This is absolutely false. Slaves were considered to be inferior and they had no rights, like voting or owning property.

D. Slaves had a great deal of freedom other than choosing where to work.

This is also false. Slaves had no autonomy and every aspect of their life was controlled by the slave owner.

The correct answer is B. Slave owners did not pay slaves for their work
