why did the queen of hawaii yield her authority to united states?
1. the people asked her to.
2. she wanted her people to be americans.
3. she was promised a seat in the us congress.
4. she wanted to avoid bloodshed.
I think the correct answer is number 4. I think this because, the queen didn't want to start an argument then war. And btw, bloodshed means killing and things like that so its like war. Hope this helps!! :)
