When did US purchase hawaii?
the US did not buy Hawaii. During the 1800's Hawaii was becoming more important for commercial export and as a strategic location for military defense in the Pacific region(Let's face it, the US was also becoming concerned about the possibility that Hawaii might become part of a European nation's empire... Great Britain or France) In 1893 Queen Liliuokalani proposed a new Hawaiian constitution, that would restore the power of the Hawaiian monarchy...Five years later, on July 7, 1898, U.S. President McKinley signed a bill which resulted in the United States Annexing Hawaii.
What were major contributions that Thomas Jefferson did?
Jefferson's vision of a tiny government ultimately failed at the end of the day, but I would say that his greatest contribution to the nation was his general spirit of bipartisanship. Jefferson's particular pet peeve was the idea of "implied powers," or the ability of the government to do anything not mentioned in the Constitution. I would say that his greatest contribution to the nation was something that was against everything he stood for, the Louisiana Purchase. The Constitution says absolutely nothing about buying land, but Jefferson knew that it was in the best interest of the nation to buy the Louisiana Territory from the French because the Mississippi River was a vital passageway. Jefferson's bipartisanship in this matter is an example that all politicians should learn from, especially in these divisive times.
