The U.S. should not have annexed Hawaii because it was already a sovereign nation with its own government and culture. The pros of annexation for the U.S. were gaining valuable land for farming, military bases, and trade in the Pacific. The cons included displacing the native Hawaiian people from their land and disregarding their sovereignty. The annexation had a negative impact on the Hawaiians, as they lost their independence and faced cultural suppression and discrimination.
