1920 Politics (Hawaii)
1920 Politics also referred to as “Jim Crow” circa 1930 was a Republican political strategy to reassert the authority of the white race and promote American Anglo-Saxon values.
==Strike of 1920==
Before 1920 Hawaii was divided into various nationalist groups of Whites, Hawaiians, Chinese Portuguese, Japanese, Okinawans, Filipinos, and Koreans.
At the time white nationalism by Republicans had been an acceptable position. Since annexation the white oligarchy was composed of three branches: the HSPA and Big Five sugar plantations dominated economics, the Republican Party dominated politics, and the white minority dominated society. These organs supported each other: one important example was that the plantations were an important source of Republican votes. On Election Day the crude election booths allowed plantation management to survey which worker voted Republican or not, those that did not were disciplined or fired. While several workers had the right to vote, they valued their livelihood more than they valued their right to choose their candidate.〔''Honor Killing'' by David E. Stannard p. 76〕〔''Working in Hawaii'' by Edward D. Beechert p. 274〕〔Daws p. 366〕
Racism was not only a social issue but more importantly an economic issue. Hawaii’s plantation economy relied on a great amount of cheap labor to work the fields and any increase in wages was costly as pay was distributed over the large work force. For the white planters, the two largest groups — the Japanese and Filipinos — rivaled each other, dividing the labor force so that when one group went on strike the other would become strike breakers. But in 1920 the Japanese and Filipinos reconciled their differences and joined in the dual strike of 1920.
