B) Although trade agreements with the Americans produced economic troubles, native Hawaiians remained dominant over the Americans simply because their population was so much greater.
C) Diseases such as smallpox caused the native Hawaiian population to decrease such that it was only a minority, with Asian immigrants, who often worked as cheap labor, as the largest ethnic group.
D) The native Hawaiian population suffered because the United States never agreed to sign a trade agreement with its leaders, and crops grown there were restricted from entering the United States.
