If Hawaii was still a sovereign kingdom, who would be the reigning monarch?

Neither. I was simply pointing out a fact of history that many are still not aware of. Since I don't know you, and don't know your level of knowledge - how could it possibly be condescending? The posting was certainly not intended that way & the fact that I posted when I was very tired (as I am now) could have added to the misunderstanding.

There are many on this board who have no knowledge of the history of Hawai`i, but it is not my place to educate anyone. I can suggest & maybe point in the right direction, but education is up to the individuals themselves. Many choose not to learn.

Well, if I were believe that your following statement is sincere...

If you would learn your history (both Hawai`i and U.S.) you would understand that. and it's really not all that complicated.

Would I be able to ask, "Where would I learn more about Hawai'i Kingdom political structure and their relationship with the US leading up to the overthrow?" without getting my head bitten off?

Well here's a start. I'm sure it's not the definative source but...

Most of these are links to the particular sites search function. When looking up stuff about Hawaii remember to also use terms like 'Sandwich Islands', 'Owyhee' or 'Owhyhee', and Hawai'i as well the assorted names you run across for the people involved in history.

For individuals who were not Hawaiian, or who were but acting in more of a social situation, reading about subjects and situations a person was involved with that were non-specific to Hawaii or politics can give the researcher an 'glimmer' of where that person's head was at.

That's good advice.
