The provisional government was set up with Dole as the president. Within 48 hours, all countries that had diplomatic ties with the former Kingdom of Hawaii had recognized its provisional government. They hoped for annexation to the United States, but Grover Cleveland’s election as president caused those plans to be put on hold. It was rumored that Queen Lili’uokalani demanded capitol punishment for the revolutionaries. Later in her book, Hawaii’s Story by Hawaii’s Queen, she wrote that she had never demanded that. The Provisional government refused to reinstate Queen Lili’uokalani to the throne. They held a constitutional convention and on July 4, 1894, created the Republic of Hawaii.
