Queen Liliʻuokalani
The Hawaiian people were on the side of their Queen. President Grover Cleveland offered to return the throne if she granted amnesty to all involved in the takeover of her kingdom.  She refused, but then changed her mind and agreed. She was denied her reinstatement by the Provisional Government.  On July 4, 1894, the Republic of Hawaii began. Liliʻuokalani died on November 11, 1917 following a stroke.
