This video is sponsored by The Hawaiian State book series by Joseph Chamberlain. This historical fiction series is an easy read and if you ever had any kind of curiosity on how Hawaii dealt with all the different coups to take it over then you'll love it. Order on Amazon, and when you are done reading please write a review and mention you heard about these books from me, Ricky
