I agree with the decision because we gain many positives to this. Better trade, and economy plus the Hawaiians somewhat get benefited too. Now in 2019 Hawaii is a proud state of America, and I truly feel that the US decision to imperialize Hawaii was an outstanding choice.

Some pros for the territory is Hawaiian citizens will receive a respectable amount of protection.

They will receive a stronger government, and they will be legal Americans, and will not have to worry about immigration. Some cons are being forced to join America. Many Hawaiian citizens are endangered when the US imperialized them. The US may interfere with their disputes.

The benefits of being anti imperialism is that the U.S can expand across the world to become a dangerous world power. By being pro imperialism as you get more land you increase the military power and you are able to protect the country, further conquer other areas, and to protect American interests abroad. Also by gaining territories and more land you increase in world resources. If anything being pro imperialism is the best for country. I believe that being Anti imperialist is bad for the country. I think that you have to demand and forcefully take to become a powerful country and to keep expanding. If we don't do what we need to do to expand our country will become soft and powerless. Being anti imperialism is the worst move for the country and being pro imperialism is the greatest move for the country if they want to become very powerful.

You can be benefited for being anti-imperialism for many reasons. For one, being pro causes you too use violence, and risk your country in battle for land, rather then negotiating a trade of some sort that can be still beneficial towards your country. Plus America's true values completely go against imperialism, and as a leader if you mess up in a war your history will not go down in a good way! Being anti- imperialists can be great for independence and care for other countries we would not be a good country if it wasn't for the help of other countries.Therefore, why should we harm take over other countries independence if they never did anything wrong to us, in fact we should help them and maybe in return we can have an alliance with that country. After this time period there were so many wars! Maybe all of the deaths of soldiers didn't have occur, if we didn't have any wars! In all, I feel being an anti- imperialist is a fabulous thing!

Some cons are there could be possible revolts against the US.
Also it goes against the principles of the US. Finally a belief that Hawaii will not assimilate to the American way, and will cause domestic conflicts. Some pros are Hawaii could get more resources. Also America has  a stopping point, when traveling goods throughout the world. They gain expansion more towards the west.
