Hawaii Political Cartoon
Hawaii, a series of islands formed from volcanic rock, is famous for its tropical fruit such as pineapples. Before Hawaii became a state, James Drummond Dole (aka the Pineapple King) established a powerful industry in pineapples. He bought a whole island, Lanai, to plant and export his pineapples. Many major businessmen such as Dole were the reason for Hawaii's acceptance as a state.
