Since Hawaii covers such a huge time span, there are a great many plots and sub-plots, all of which show the different si

Supposedly, in history, an underground organization which included many well known business men, under the title of "Committee for Safety," acquired ammunition, rifles, and other arms. On January 16, 1893, with help from the marines on the USS Boston, who were "protecting American property"), the revolution was started. Since most of the Queen's cabinet was made up of Americans, she was helpless, and decided to abdicate the throne until the Americans reinstated her position. The revolutionaries went under the title of the Provisional Government, and had Judge Sanford Dole as their President. President Grover Cleveland denied the request for annexation because he was alarmed by the events at Honolulu. Secretary of State John Gresham declared that "it would lower our national standards to endorse a selfish and dishonorable scheme of a lot of adventurers." When Albert S. Willis, the new Secretary of State, informed Liliukalani that Cleveland would restore her throne, she said th according to Hawaiian law, Thurston, the leader of the revolution should be beheaded. Unlike the novel, she was willing to forgive and forget, but the Provisional government refused the idea of abdicating.

Nobody actually knows who brought the first pineapple to Hawaii. "After annexation, when the American customs duties were no longer charged on Hawaiin fruit, a band of farmers from southern California settled around the town of Wahaiwa, in the middle of the island of Oahu. They grew several kinds of crops, including pineapples." James D. Dole later started the Hawaiian Pineapple Company.

Kamejiro Sakagawa was the Japanese immigrant to Hawaii that Michener followed most closely. In 1902 his family decided he would go to Hawaii for five years on a work contract. Before he left he fell in love and swore that he would return. Like most of the other 1850 Japanese laborers how left that day, in September, 1902, Kamejiro would not return. After arriving, the Japanese were sent to their new houses on the plantations. They were told to obey the lunas (the plantation officials). A few days later Kamejiro approached Whip Hoxworth to get some corrugated iron for a hot bath. After a long, tense period of time, Hoxworth gave him the metal. The Japanese needed to take daily hot baths. But they were better workers, so Whip did not mind. Historically, in 1868, 148 Japanese went to Hawaii. Various misunderstandings occurred, as they did in the novel. For example, whenever a language barrier or a misunderstanding was reached, the lunas, usually Germans, violently subdued the Japanese workers.
