Overview
I need a two-page, college-level response analyzing American imperialism and the annexation of Hawai‘i. The paper must number answers 1, 2, and 3 but not restate the questions. It must include direct quotes with citations from the assigned textbook (OpenStax U.S. History) and Module 2 resources, including the primary source “Petition Against the Annexation of Hawaii” and the assigned video. I PROVIDED A DOCUMENT BELLOW. THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED IS THE SOURCE, AND I PUT DIRECT QUOTES THAT I PULLED TO ALIGN WITH EACH QUESTION LISTED. PLEASE USE CORRECTLY, AND ENSURE ALL SOURCES LISTED ARE USED WITH PROVIDED INFO. Do not use the explanation, please use your own words. But please ensure that the quotes are used and cited correctly. ALSO NO AI FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT MY PROFESSOR PUTS INTO MANY DETECTORS. Thank you.
The paper must:
- Define imperialism and discuss how the United States has practiced imperialism since taking Puerto Rico by force. Explain how imperialism applies to U.S. involvement in 19th-century Hawai‘i.
- Explain whether Hawaiians, including Queen Liliʻuokalani, wanted annexation. Mention that the queen preferred British alliance and provide one cited piece of evidence from the 1897 petition primary source.
- Explain how Hawai‘i fits into larger late 19th-century American imperialism. Discuss other annexations such as Puerto Rico and the Philippines and compare similarities and differences using textbook evidence.
Citations should follow this format: Example: “quote” (OpenStax, 482). Example: “quote” (Petition Against Annexation, 1897). Example: “quote” (Video title, timestamp).
The writing must be historically specific, use direct quotes, and include detailed analysis
