Hawaii didn't become a US state until 1959, the same year as Alaska.
America annexed that former independent kingdom in 1893 when a group of mostly Euro-American business leaders and residents formed a Committee of Safety to overthrow the Kingdom and its monarchy, and a group of US Marines landed on the islands. Queen Liliʻuokalani was overthrown and replaced by a Provisional Government composed of members of the Committee of Safety. Between 1893 and 1959 Hawaii was merely a territory controlled by the US but was not part of it.
In 1993, a joint Apology Resolution regarding the overthrow was passed by Congress and signed by President Clinton, apologizing for the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Just as in Scotland and Quebec, there is a sovereignty movement in Hawaii composed of those wishing it to secede from the USA and become an sovereign state once more.
