Claim: McKinley's tax on sugar was detrimental for Hawaii's independence.
In 1890, Congress passed the McKinley Tariff which put a high tax on foreign sugar. This tax would have a negative impact on the American-born sugar planters in Hawaii. United States citizens would now buy their sugar from plantations within the U.S. territories because it was cheaper. The U.S. citizens would not want to pay the tariff for Hawaiian sugar, so they would no longer buy Hawaiian sugar. The sugar planters in Hawaii realized that if Hawaii were annexed by the United States, it would become a US territory and the tariff would no longer apply to their sugar.
