Kapu system abolished Pt.1
Soon after Kamehamehas death Ka'ahumanu announced that she would be ruling alongside Liholiho. Ka'ahumanu did not like kapu, she wanted it abolished. Liholiho had to be convinced by Ka'ahumanu to eat with women and break kapu. When Liholiho finally gave in he ate at a big feast and in front of many people. He ate freely with women there. People saw that the kapu was ending, some were happy but some were furios. Soon a revolt started but with all the firepower Liholiho had the war soon ended. -
The kapu system gets abolished Pt. 2
Now that the revolt against kapu ended kapu was over. Kamehameha probably wouldnt be happy with this if he was alive to see it. Women now had a lot of freedom and just as much power as men had. Ka'ahumanu and Liholiho felt accomplished. Most people were happy including high priests. But some still worshipped the gods in secret. This new loss of kapu paved the way for missionaries. -
