Stevens Replies to Cleveland on Hawaii Liberty Attempt
Minister Stevens defends his conduct, arguing the Cleveland administration and Secretary Gresham attempted to crush Hawaiian liberty by force or pressure. He cites historical injustices, defends his cautious actions, and asserts he sought aid only to protect American life and property, while denying annexation advocacy as private at the time. He notes ongoing conflicts between Hawaii’s queen, Wilson, and the legislature, and recalls the tense political maneuvers surrounding the monarchy’s fate.
