Everything about John L Stevens totally explained
John Leavitt Stevens (
August 1,
1820 –
February 8,
1895) was the
United States Department of State Minister to the
Kingdom of Hawai'i when he was accused of conspiring to overthrow
Queen Lili'uokalani in association with the
Committee of Safety, led by
Lorrin A. Thurston and
Sanford B. Dole. The initial
Blount Report commissioned by President
Grover Cleveland was submitted on
July 17,
1893 and found Stevens guilty of inappropriate conduct in support of the conspiracy to overthrow Hawaii's Queen. The later Morgan investigation conducted by the
U.S. Congress, which led to the
Morgan Report on February 26, 1894 found Stevens and other U.S. agents not guilty. The Morgan Report led to Cleveland's abandonment of the matter.
Stevens was born in the town of Mount Vernon in
Kennebec County, Maine. He lived in
Augusta in the same county. He began as a newspaper editor before becoming Maine's delegate to the
1860 Republican National Convention. He joined the United States Department of State and was appointed foreign Minister to
Paraguay,
Uruguay,
Sweden, and
Hawaii. President Cleveland forced Stevens into retirement in
1893 following the Hawaiian Revolution. He died two years later.
