[Courtney and Shayn] Group 3: Hawaii was owned by William H Seward. The Hawaiians offered us sandlewood and goods. We got involved so we could get local recourses. It is now used for vacationing. We gave them diseases.

[Liz Demin and Sarah Beth Campisi] Group 4:
 * America began trading with Hawaii
 * Ships brought terrible diseases to the island people. The people lost a lot of their land to non-Hawaiians. Hawaii did not want to be annexated (become part of) by the United States.
 * We needed Hawaii then because they had: good ports, fishing, farming, whaling, sugar, plantations, and scandalwood.
 * Some things that we still need from Hawaii today are: tourism, sugar, seaports.
 * Before the US took Hawaii, it was like its own small nation. It had its own chieftan, King Kamehameha I, and dwelt on independent communities.

[Insert Names Here] Group 5:Erik and Brandon Ange Hawaii The United States got involved in the Hawaiian territory because they had ports for ships in the Pacific and land for sugar cane plantations.

The territory offered good land for sugar crops.

Hawaii was previously independent before the U.S.

U.S. involvement in affected the local people by spreading disease and they did not like that we were taking their land.

Today we use this territory for vacationing.

Two things about Alaska... They have gold mining. We bought it from Russa for 7.2 million dollar. [Jake S and Caleb L] Group 6: Sugarcane, sandalwood and whaling were Hawaii’s major exports. Hawaiians owned the islands. Hawaii became part of the U.S. so it could sell its sugarcane and its other products to us. It affected the local Hawaiians by giving them somewhere to sell their sugar and made them more powerful because they became part of America. We use Hawaii as a popular place for tourists and and a good place for tropical crops. [Insert Names Here] Group 7:
