"Kindly" assisted in the abdication of the islands' queen
About the sentence"United States kindly assisted in the abdication of the islands' queen, and annexed the territory.":

America invaded Hawaii (which was then an independent country), overthrew the government, annexed it, and then colonized it to the point were the indigenous Hawaiians were a minority in their own country. The indigenous Hawaiians did not conceder this to be kind.

I'm not a liberal myself, but I don't think invading and annexing other countries is a liberal viewpoint. This was a long time ago, but it's one thing to acknowledge that this was a long time ago, it's quite another to paint this in a good light.
