[1] This is one of three events with Hawaii in this study tool; there are more in the next time period we cover. The McKinley Tariff also has consequences in Hawaii.
[2] Latin America counters with a group organization, the Pan-American Union. What does the root word pan mean? All of a group, such as Pan American (as shown above) or Pan-Slavism (an issue in World War I) or something widespread (such as a pandemic). The name in the 1899 era was International Bureau of the American Republics.
[3] The Colored Alliance has a strike in AK. Whites lynch15 strikers.
[4] This is one of three events with Hawaii. A leader of this is Sanford Dole. (Where have you seen the name Dole in a grocery store?) – He will be elected President of Hawaii. The US minister to Hawaii declared Hawaii to be a US protectorate.
[5] This is one of three events with Hawaii. Note: proposed is not the same as passed. There is more on this in the next time period.
[6] This is against Carnegie’s steel company. It involves 300 Pinkerton and later state militia. This becomes worse by the end of the month.
[7] This strike in the west involves martial law + federal troops.
[8] Assassination attempt on H. Frick (Homestead manager.)
