Kamehameha IV (Alexander Liholiho), grandson of 
Kamehameha the Great was openly anti American and for good
reasons. On his trip to segregated Washington D.C. he was 
questioned about his dark complexion by a street trolley personnel. 
The main reason, however, was the growing agitation for annexation
by certain elements of the mainly white sugar industry, who wanted
a secure duty free market for their sugar. The health of Hawaiians 
was deteriorating, due to ravaging foreign diseases, they had 
no immunity to. His son prince Albert died at the age of four. 
He and his wife Queen Emma established the Queen's Hospital,
 which still exists today. His policy was: "Hawai'i for the Hawaiians".
