Statehood Countdown

Check out the “Statehood Countdown” at StatehoodHawaii.org.  Arnie Saiki has dug up interesting historical documents about the discussions and politics of Hawai’i being designated a state of the U.S.   The countdown begins with the August 1st, 2009 post and continues for 21 days.  Anti-communism was one of the big factors shaping U.S. policies regarding Hawai’i and Alaska.
