Sanford Dole
Sanford Dole was an influential American politician and lawyer who played a pivotal role in the annexation of Hawaii by the United States. Initially a proponent of Hawaiian sovereignty, Dole shifted his stance and supported the U.S. takeover following the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893. He became the first governor of the Territory of Hawaii after it was officially annexed in 1900. Dole's leadership was marked by efforts to integrate Hawaii into the U.S. political framework, and he remains a controversial figure due to his involvement in the events that led to the loss of Hawaiian independence.
