"Sovereignty" means control over one's own nation or territory.

Hawaii was concerned with sovereignty in 1884 because in that year the Kingdom of Hawaii was signing a treaty that gave the United States "the exclusive right to enter the harbor of the Pearl River in the Island of Oahu" (in other words, Pearl Harbor), "and to establish and maintain there a coaling and repair station for the use of vessels of the United States, and to that end the United States may improve the entrance to said harbor and do all other things needful to the purpose aforesaid." (You can tell I'm quoting from the actual treaty there.)

When the treaty was reaffirmed and extended in 1887, King Kalaukaua of Hawaii said to the Hawaiian legislature that his government had assurances from the US government that the treaty did "not cede any territory or part with or impair any right of sovereignty or jurisdiction on the part of the Hawaiian Kingdom."

Ultimately, however, in an age when imperialism was common throughout the world, the United States did take over control of Hawaii. In the late 1800s, the US supported American sugar planters who overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy, and by 1900 Hawaii became a US territory.

How long did the economic calamity that destroyed van buren's presidency last?

Maksim231197 [3]

<span>It lasted for 7 years. Americans at the time ascribed the reason for the frenzy essentially to household political clashes. Some censured Jackson for declining to restore the contract of the Bank, bringing about the withdrawal of government reserves from the bank. Martin Van Buren, who progressed toward becoming president in March 1837, was to a great extent reprimanded for the frenzy despite the fact that his initiation went into the frenzy by just five weeks. Van Buren's refusal to utilize government intercession to deliver the emergency as indicated by his adversaries contributed further to the hardship and term of the dejection that took after the frenzy. Jacksonian Democrats, then again, faulted the National Bank, both in subsidizing uncontrolled hypothesis and in presenting inflationary paper cash. Current market analysts, for the most part, see Van Buren's deregulatory financial strategy as effective in the long haul for its significance in renewing banks after the frenzy</span>
