Hawaiian Independence DayÂ
After the death of King Kamehameha in 1819, his wife, newly converted Protestant Queen regent Kaâahumanu, outlawed Catholicism in Hawaii. French Catholic priests were deported and native Hawaiian Catholic converts were arrested. They were later freed when they rejected Catholicism.
On November 28, 1843, British, and French representatives met at the Court of London to sign the Anglo-French Proclamation, formally recognizing Hawaiiâs independence. Despite President Tylerâs earlier assurance, the U.S. didnât sign the proclamation because it needed to be ratified by the U.S. Senate. However, in 1846 Tylerâs Secretary of State John C. Calhoun sent Hawaii a formal recognition of its independence.
