Although the US did technically steal Hawai'i from the Hawaiians, we have not oppressed them or their culture, I don't see any real harm. Also due to the US federalistic government, as a state they maintain a high degree of self-government and security from the federal government. And, with time there was a good chance they would have joined the Union anyways. --[[User:Snotbowst|Snotbowst]] 14:29, 17 May 2008 (EDT) | Although the US did technically steal Hawai'i from the Hawaiians, we have not oppressed them or their culture, I don't see any real harm.
