Many Americans supported the expansion of the United States into territories like Hawaii. One of the reasons why Americans supported the annexation of Hawaii is because of natural resources. America relied heavily on Hawaii for sugar, an important commodity for American citizens. By taking control of Hawaii, the US would have almost unlimited access to Hawaiian sugar.

Another reason why the US wanted Hawaii was so that they could establish a military base in the Pacific Ocean. Before this time, the US did not have a huge military influence there.

 Lastly, America thought that taking over Hawaii would allow them to spread the ideas of democracy to another territory. Americans felt that a democracy is the best type of government, as it gives power to individual citizens. Before the US annexed Hawaii, they were controlled by a King. With this type of system, the influence of citizens on how the territory was run would be very limited when compared to a democracy.
