Trade between America
and Asia was growing and America was looking for orts harbor were they could
refuel and resupply. One of the finest harbors that time was a huge port called
Pago Harbor located in the Samoan territory. The biggest pulse to this was that
Hawaii whaling ships and merchant vessels crossing the pacific would stop there
to ret and take on supplies. This was a big deal because Americans at port
could trade with everyone that was trading on the Pacific. So they signed a
treaty with Samoan giving them permit ion to open a port on Pago Harbor
In 1891 American settlers wanted to
farm on the Island and found out that since Hawaii had warm client a crop
called sugar cane? It was used for multiple thing could easily grow on it so
the American setters started large farms called plantations all over the Island
that grew sugarcane and other plants that grew well in warm weather.
