"On March 30 1820 Hawaii would witness the dawn of Christianity and the most influential religious group in Hawaii. After 164 days of traveling through the United States and sailing through the Pacific Ocean in the Thaddeus fourteen missionaries seven mission couples would arrive in Hawaii landing at Kawaihae and Kailua-Kona Big Island. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions funded these missionaries who were Presbyterians Congregationalists and Dutch Reformists from New England. Before their arrival the kingdom was transforming: King Kamehameha I the monarch who united the Hawaiian islands died and Liholiho Kamehameha II and Queen Kaahumanu co-ruled Hawaii. After reigning for six months they ended the kapu system leaving behind a religious void.In Hawaii the missionaries converted Hawaiian people to the Christian faith developed the written form of Hawaiian discouraged many Hawaiian cultural practices introduced their Western practices and encouraged the spread of English. One of the most powerful converts Queen Kaahumanu embraced Christianity imposed it to the rest of the kingdom and banned Hawaiian religious practices. The missionaries' impact would continue through their descendents who would become the political business and cultural elites of Hawaii and act as a driving force towards Hawaii's Westernization."

The original of Kamehameha 2d was executed in England in 1824 in the style of the dress of George 4th's reign.

B. Rooke. She married Kamehameha IV on 19 June 1856. Emma was an active queen concerned with palace affairs and was involved in the expansion of the royal library. She is best known for founding the Queen's Hospital in 1860 which was built to care for native Hawaiians who had no immunity to many of the European diseases which they encountered. The hospital exists to this day as Queen's Medical Center.
