Unit Description

A war between Cuba and Spain brought America back into conflict outside of its borders. Eventually, this led to both the Philippines and Hawaii becoming U.S. territories but not without much discussion and debate. Although President Harrison was in favor of annexation, he left office before that was accomplished and Grover Cleveland took the oath of the presidency. The new president did not feel at all pleased with what had been done. So for several years Hawaii remained a little independent republic. However, when William McKinley came into power the United States was again asked to take the Hawaiian Islands under protection.

Leading Ideas and Biblical Principles

[list type=”arrow”]

• Honesty is a character quality to be desired.
  • The Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please Him. — Proverbs 20:23
• The Bible provides the ethics upon which to judge people and nations.
  • And God spoke all these words:…(continue reading). — Exodus 20:1-17
• God is sovereign over the affairs of men.
  • From one man He made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. — Acts 17:26
• Scripture addresses the Christian’s Responsibility to Government.
  • Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is the servant of God to execute his wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be subject, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay all of them their dues, taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due. — Romans 13:1-7
