January 15, 1893: Officially, this is the last day of the Monarchy for all of Hawaii. Thousands of supporters of Queen Lili’uokalani gather in Palace Square to hear Hawaiian leaders plead with them to remain loyal to the queen. Just a few blocks away, however, foreigners — that would be Americans — are gathering and planning their overthrow. With trouble brewing, U.S. troops were sent ashore from the USS Boston to help prevent any riots, but except for a few scuffles, no one is hurt and the groups do not clash.
