Answer:

Business Interests is the correct answer.

Explanation:

During 1830's American leaders were afraid that Hawaii would fall in hands of a European power when Britain and France both forced Hawaii to accept treaties.  Alarmed by this american leaders signed Treaty of Friendship with Hawaii in 1849.  Soon Hawaii became a provisioning spot for American whaling ships  and sugar plantation. The Hawaiian economy became more integrated when the two signed 1875 trade exchange treaty and the white Americans began to dominate Hawaiin economy and politics.  But when the Us government introduced McKinley Tariff, it raised the import rates on foreign sugar. Most of the  sugar planters knew that if Hawaii is annexed by US the the tariff issue would vanish. The planters staged an uprising and force that Queen to abdicate. It was formally annexed when the war broke out with Spain and the islands became significant for the US navy. A joint resolution was signed by president William McKinley.

How do National Parks fit in with Muir's ideas about preservation?
ElenaW [278]

<span>John Muir thought that the parks should be preserved for poor people as well as rich. Thus, Americans of all sorts shared the same need for getting back in touch with nature. Though Recreation on National Parks is commonly expressed purpose of the parks which usually means outdoors exercise in the form of hiking, camping, fishing or boating, it fits on John Muir understanding that recreation should be a re-creating of our inner selves through immersion in nature. He wrote in his book of “Our National Parks” on 1901 that the parks should offer winldness which is another word for nature and that wildness is a necessity. Moreover, he belived that a nation of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people seek in the parks an escape from the vice of over-industry and the deadly apathy of luxury. </span>
