1895 Jan 24 Liliuokalani signs statement of abdication. She remained under duress, stress, coercion, and usurpation. She directed her subjects to maintain a neutral, friendly, non-violent status, even though many were beaten, killed, thrown on Kalaupapa, Molokai and declared lepers. The issues of genocide remain, the issues of piracy(ies) on the high seas remain, along with theft, conspiracies, treasonous activities, etc.

1895 Oct 2 The Queen was tried and convicted of treason. While sentenced to confinement in her room in Iolani Palace, she composed "The Queen's Prayer."

Princess Poomaikelani died. She had called her a daughter. Her descendants/heirs descendants exist today.

1896 Fall Liliuokalani freed by the entity Republic and remained under duress, coercion, usurpation, and stress.

"uprising began on January 6, 1895. In an exchange of shots in the night at Diamond Head, Charles L. Carter was killed--the only death during the insurrection but shocking to the public.

In retreat against the government army, Wilcox led the rebel remnants from Diamond Head, through Palolo and Manoa valleys, and by ancient trails to Nu"uanu. They lived in the uplands until, half-starved, Wilcox finally gave up.

The Republic of Hawai"i tried the men by military tribunal. Ringleaders were sentenced to be hanged. The queen renounced the throne. With an eye toward annexation and U.S. public opinion--sentiment was that Wilcox's was a political, not a criminal act--Republic President Sanford Dole commuted the sentences to hard labor. Wilcox was finally released on the condition that he would never again go against the government.

He didn't--he joined it, and with his gifts of leadership and fiery oratory, he gave the government a good fight after annexation as the first elected delegate to Congress."
