Stomach and back pain after eating could indicate acute pancreatitis, which is a serious condition. You would feel a pain in your upper abdomen and sometimes in your back that worsens after you eat. The pain may last for days, and you may have swelling in your abdomen, nausea, vomiting, a fever and a rapid pulse.
When and why did Hawaii become a state? Hawaiiâa U.S. territory since 1898âbecame the 50th state in August, 1959, following a referendum in Hawaii in which more than 93% of the voters approved the proposition that the territory should be admitted as a state. There were many Hawaiian petitions for statehood during the first half of the 20th century. These were denied or ignored. Some in the U.S. had been convinced, even at the time of Hawaiiâs annexation, that Hawaii had no natural connection to the rest of the states.
On August 12, 1898, the government of the Republic transferred sovereignty to the United States. Hawaii became a territory of the United States in 1900. Toward the end of the 19th cent., agitation for constitutional reform in Hawaii led to the overthrow (1893) of Queen Liliuokalani, who had ruled since 1891. A provisional government was established and John L. Stevens, the U.S. minister to Hawaii, proclaimed the country a U.S. protectorate.
