The correct answer is: The American Planters.
The American planters group was in favor for the annexation of Hawaii by the US. They were in favor because this way they would eliminate the tariff that was imposed on them on their sugar production.
The group was American planters of pineapple and sugar cane.
This group was made up of wealthy farmers who secured their influence by organizing a coup and asking for annexation by the United States, denied by Democrat President Grover Cleveland.
They did this because they wanted to escape the tariff that was charged to the sugar producers.
