Why did sugar growers want the U. S. to annex Hawaii?

The reasons as to why the Americans would want to control Hawaii is because Hawaii had a lot of tropical products like sugarcane and pineapples that weren’t available anywhere else in the country. Since there were exclusive products, that meant a lot of people wanted the things and led to a booming economy. A booming economy meant a lot of money. People who wanted to make it big would come to Hawaii and sell things and become rich. It also had Pearl Harbor which, if America could get its hands on, could prove to be really useful for their growing navy. They could also expand it to a military base. The US also wanted to expand their power and land.

the group i'm selecting: greeks.

a first group of greek immigrants came to the us in the 1850s. the second group came to america starting in the 1890s due to economic opportunities they didn't have back in their home caused by the hardships of ottoman rule. greek immigration was 90% male, many of them expected to work and return to greece after earning enough capital, but ultimately had to remain in the us after the greek genocide.
