Social studies

             So far in modern history of Hawaii we have learned alot of new and interesting things .
             We first learned about the beginning and formation of the islands. The plants growing was most likely formed by birds and the droppings they left after they ate their food. The islands themselves were formed by volcanic eruptions. There are eight main islands in the state of Hawaii. They are, Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Kauai, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Niihau, and Oahu. They all have a special nick name and special color according to the plants of the island or something else that is unique to that island. As of now the islands of Hawaii are a state of the United States, but it wasn't always that way. In the beginning the first king of Hawaii was Kamehameha the great or the first. He only had control of the island of Hawaii at first but then moved to the left and conquered all the islands so he was the only King. The monarchy was very sucessful under him because he was the first ruler and everyone had respect for him. The first system that Hawaii had was the Kapu system. It was used just for land use only and no one was allowed to own land. The resources the early Hawaiins used to get food and other everyday things, such as cloths, was tha Ahupuaa. It was an area between the mountain and the sea or ocean. It was the basic area where the Hawaiins found everything they needed. After the reign of Kamehameha I was over in 1819 the second king took over. His name was Liholiho and he only reigned for five years. Then Kamehameha III took over and then the IV and finally the Kamehameha reign ended in 1873 with Kamehameha V also known as Lot Kamehameha. After him there was no heir to the throne so it ended up as and election to see who the next king would be. The first election was held in 1873. The first elected king was Lunalilo. His reign lasted for one year and it was the shortest reign ever. After that another election occured and the winner was King David Kalakaua.
