DGP 7: Kingdom of Hawaii

I found DGP chapter 7 to be quite interesting, since I have lived in Hawaii my entire life and have learned Hawaiian history for quite some time. Looking through the chapter, I came across the Kingdom of Hawaii Constitution of 1852. This is something that I have never read before (or at least don't remember reading) and some of the articles really stood out to me. One article that was really interesting to read was Article 12 starting with, "slavery shall, under no circumstances whatever, be tolerated in the Hawaiian islands: whenever a slave shall enter Hawaiian territory he shall be free..." This article really stood out to me because slavery was a really huge topic in history, and I am glad to read that Hawaii was against it early-on.
