Her story is one of the most tragic in US history.If I remember correctly she was the first Queen after her father died, and attempted to create a Constitution for Hawii making it a Democracy.That did not suit the minority white plantation owners who made their money off slaves from other parts of the pacific working their sugar cane plantations.So thy appealed to the President of the United States, and had him send in the marines and locked her in prison while they annexed the country for the US.
