Aloha kakou.
There are some striking parallels between the Ku'e Anti-Annexation Petitions of 1897-1898 and the Ulster Covenant of 1912. The Ulster Covenant was signed by men and the Declaration by women, designed to prevent Home Rule in Ireland over 471,000 signatures were lodged. The first signatory was Sir Edward Carson who was born in Harcourt Street, Dublin some eight miles from Killiney where H.R.H. Princess Ka'iulani stayed at the Davies summer home. The celebrations this past weekend surrounding the centenary of the Ulster Covenant are outlined here:
