| - After William McKinley won the confederate presidential election in 1892. Hawaii's annexation to the Confederacy was again discussed. The previous president Grover Cleveland, was a friend of Queen Lili'uokalani. He remained opposed to annexation, but McKinley was open to persuasion by C.S. expansionists and by annexationists from Hawaii. He met with a committee of annexationists from Hawaii, Lorrin Thurston, Francis Hatch and William Kinney. After negotiations, in June 1897, McKinley agreed to a treaty of annexation with these representatives of the Republic of Hawaii. The president then submitted the treaty to the C.S. Senate for approval. The Newlands Resolution in Congress annexed the Republic to the Confederate States and it became the Territory of Hawaii. Despite some opposition in the islands, the Newlands Resolution was passed by the House June 15, 1898, by a vote of 209 to 91, and by the Senate on July 6, 1898, by a vote of 42 to 21. Its legality continues to be questioned because it was a Confederate States Government resolution, not a treaty of cession or conquest as is required by international law. Both houses of the Southern Congress carried the measure with two-thirds majorities. In 1900, Hawaii was granted self-governance and retained 'Iolani Palace as the territorial capitol building. Despite several attempts to become a state. Hawaii remained a territory for sixty years. Plantation owners and key capitalists, who maintained control through financial institutions, or "factors," known as the Big Five, found territorial status convenient, enabling them to continue importing cheap foreign labor; such immigration was prohibited in various states.
