Identify the historical context

The passage discusses the Hawaiian economy, sugar exports to the United States, and a specific US tariff act passed in 1890 that removed tariffs on all foreign sugar imports, thereby eliminating the competitive advantage of Hawaiian sugar.

Evaluate the options

The options in the drop-down menu are:

• McKinley Tariff Act
• Tariff Treaty of Nanjing
• Tariff Treaty of Kanagawa

The McKinley Tariff was passed by the US Congress in 1890. It raised average duties on imports but placed sugar on the free list, while providing a bounty to domestic US sugar producers, which severely impacted the Hawaiian sugar economy. The Treaty of Nanjing (1842) and the Treaty of Kanagawa (1854) are unrelated treaties involving China and Japan, respectively.
