I would like to remove the following:
"In practice, Hawaii gave enormous support to the United States, which demonstrated its value as a naval base in wartime and won widespread American approval for its non-neutral behavior"
Objection: Keep this simple noncontroversial and important fact. It is not the opinion of a Wiki editor-- it is the consensus of scholars. quoting from Ralph S. Kuykendall, Hawaii: a history, from Polynesian kingdom to American State (1961) pp 188-189 When the Spanish American War broke out: "The Hawaiian government threw aside its neutrality and did all it could to aid the Americans....Honolulu became a mid-ocean stopver for the United States troops that were sent across the Pacific to follow up Dewey's victory. The American soldiers were enthusiastically welcomed and given a taste of Hawaiian hospitality." Rjensen (talk) 02:51, 20 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
