How did American planters react to Queen Liliuokalani attempt to establish her Authority?

American planters reacted negatively to Queen Liliuokalani's attempts to establish her authority in Hawaii, viewing her policies as a threat to their economic interests. Many planters opposed her plans to restore the monarchy's power and reduce foreign influence, fearing it would undermine their control over the islands' sugar industry. This culminated in a coup supported by U.S. interests in 1893, leading to her overthrow and the eventual annexation of Hawaii by the United States.
