On the days leading from Jan. 14 to 17 Queen Liliuokalani had to give her throne away. In that sadness this is what she tweeted:
Queen Lili'uokalani:
Preparing for the closing ceremonies today at the Government Building. Trying not to get nervous, stay concentrated, but OMG I cant!

Walking across to the 'Iolani Palace, declaring my new constitution, YESSS!!! What a beautiful band that is playing!!!

Queen Lili'uokalani:
I'm having a big argument with the cabinet. They wouldn't sign the treaty. My enemies are somewhere in the crowd. :/

Queen Lili'uokalani:
I am really upset right now. I can't believe they didn't sign my treaty. But life goes on. :)

Queen Lili'uokalani:
I was informed that the Committee of Safety plan to overthrow me. I now want to avoid any possible danger that I might have. Ughh so much work :/

Queen Lili'uokalani:
I can't believe my people would betray me!! If I have always done the right decisions for them. Why??

Queen Lili'uokalani:
I gave up the throne today. It is the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my whole life. I hope the president helps me reclaim the throne!!:/

I knew this day was soon going to come, I have yielded my power! I'm sorry to all my people and troops. Know that I all love you very much!!!
