Hawaiian Kingdom Historical Facts - Caucasian plantation owners tried to bring African Americans in to be slaves in Hawai`iʻs plantation fields. Hawai`iʻs Ali`i were horrified and they passed laws banning slavery throughout the Kingdom. As a result, when those who were slaves in the US and elsewhere landed in Hawai`i, they walked off the ships as free men, women and children. Furthermore, arriving in Hawai`i as a result of the whaling and shipping trades people of african descent settled throughout the islands and built lives and businesses in the Kingdom encountering no hate or prejudice whatsoever. Hawai`ʻs first school to help educate children who weren't royalty was opened by a black man. A very important member and lawyer of King Kalākaua's cabinet was black. He also later fought tirelessly to help Queen Lili`uokalani regain control of the Kingdom. At a time when black people were still considered property in the US and other countries, they came to Hawai`i and prospered. Here they became musicians, educators, poets and more. In the Hawaiian Kingdom they found freedom.
