Hili ha taʻu faingataʻa ʻi Ketilani, ʻi ʻOhaiō, kuo aʻu atu ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ki Hihifo Mamaʻo ʻi Mīsuli, ʻi he konga kimuʻa ʻo e 1838, kuo mateuteu ke fai ha kamata foʻou. Taimi nounou pē mei heʻene aʻu atú, kuó ne maʻu ha fakahā ʻo fiemaʻu ke langa ʻa Hihifo Mamaʻo ko ha kolo māʻoniʻoni mo ha temimpale ʻi loto mālie. ʻI he fakahā tatau pē, naʻe taʻofi ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ke ʻoua te nau toe nō ha paʻanga ke fakahoko ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi taumuʻa ko ʻení. Naʻa nau nō ke fakapaʻanga ʻa e fale ʻo e ʻEikí ʻi Ketilahi ʻi ʻOhaiō, pea neonga naʻe taau ʻa e ngaahi tāpuakí mo e sēniti kotoa naʻe noó, ka naʻa nau kei faingataʻaʻia he feinga ke totongi ʻa e ngaahi moʻua ko iá. Ka ʻe founga fēfē hano tānaki ʻe he Kāingalotú ha paʻanga ke langa ha toe temipale ʻi ha kolo kehe?
Naʻe ʻikai ko ha fehuʻi foʻou ia ki he Siasi naʻe toki kamata peé. Naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e fono ʻo e fakatāpuí ʻi he 1831 ʻi Ketilani ke tokoniʻi ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi palopalema tatau. Naʻe fekauʻi ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e Kāingalotú ke nau foaki tauʻatāina ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kuó Ne tāpuekina ʻaki kinautolú, ki he pīsopé, pea te ne toki fakatāpui leva ha tufakanga tauhi maʻanautolu ʻo fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ʻEikí. ʻI heʻenau hoko ko e kau tauhí, ʻe maʻu ʻe he Kāingalotú ha “meʻa feʻunga” ʻi he meʻa ʻoku nau fiemaʻú pea ʻoku ʻamanaki ke nau fakafoki ki he pīsope ʻo e Siasí ha faʻahinga toenga pē ke “tokoni ki he masivá mo e faingataʻaʻiá,” pea fakatau ha kelekele moʻó e Kāingalotú, pea mo langa ʻa Saione.
Naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe he ngaahi fakahā ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he fakatapuí ʻa e ngaahi tokāteline ʻo e tauʻatāina fakafoʻituituí, tufakanga tauhí, mo e haʻisiá. Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení ki he kau pīsopé, pea nau toki fakamamafaʻi leva ʻa e natula ʻo e foaki tauʻatāiná pea mo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku maʻu tuʻunga ʻi hono tauhi iá.
ʻI he konga lahi ʻo e taʻu 1830 tupú, naʻe ʻi ai ha ongo pīsope: ko ʻEtuate Pātilisi naʻá ne tokangaʻi ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻi Mīsulí—pe Saione, ko e senitā ia ʻo e Siasí—kae tokangaʻi ʻe Niueli K. Uitenī ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻi he siteiki pē ʻe taha ʻo e Siasí he taimi ko iá ʻi Ketilani, ʻi ʻOhaiō. Naʻe feinga ʻa Siosefa mo e ongo pīsopé ke tokoniʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú ke nau talangofua ki he fonó, ka naʻe ʻāmio ʻa e Kāingalotu talatalakehé mo e ngaahi kaungāʻapi fakafepakí ki he ngaahi meʻa ko ʻení. Naʻe liunga ua ʻa e faingataʻa ʻo ʻenau ngāué ʻi he 1837 koeʻuhí he naʻe fuʻu lahi ʻa e moʻua ʻo e Siasí, pea tō-lalo ʻaupito ʻa e tuʻunga fakaʻekonōmika ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití.
Naʻe mahino ki he Kāingalotú ʻi he taimi ko iá ko e vahehongofulú ko ha faʻahinga koloa pe paʻanga ʻoku fakatapui tauʻatāina. ʻI Sepitema 1837, naʻe fakahā ai ʻe Pīsope Uitenī mo hono ongo tokoni ʻi he kau pīsopeliki ʻi Ketilaní “ko e taumuʻa pau ia ʻa hotau ʻOtuá … ke fakahoko ʻa e ngāue maʻongoʻonga ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí ʻaki hono fakavahehongofuluʻi ʻa hono kāingalotú.” Fekauʻaki mo e palōmesi ʻi he Malakai 3:10, naʻa nau kole ki he Kāingalotú ke “ʻomai ʻenau ngaahi vahehongofulú ki he fale tukuʻanga koloá, pea ke nau kumi ki ha tāpuaki ʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha feituʻu ke hao ki aí.”
ʻOsi ha ngaahi māhina siʻi mei ai, kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he kau pīsopeliki ʻi Mīsulí ha meʻa meimei tatau ka ʻi ha tuʻutuʻuni naʻe pau ange: ʻoku totonu ke foaki ʻe he ʻapi takitaha ha vahehongofulu peseti ʻe 2 ʻi he hili ʻenau totongi ʻa e ngaahi moʻua fakaʻapí. Naʻe tohi ʻe he kau pīsopeliki ʻi Saioné ʻo pehē, “ʻe hoko ʻeni ʻi ha faʻahinga tuʻunga ke fakahoko ai ʻa e fono ʻo e fakatapuí.”
ʻI he konga kimuʻa ʻo e 1838, lolotonga ʻo e teuteu ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ke hiki mo hono fāmilí mei Ketilani ki Hihifo Mamaʻó, naʻe tohi ki ai ʻa e Tōmasi Māʻasi mei Mīsuli, ʻo fakahā ange ʻene ongoʻi “ʻE fiefia ʻa e siasí ke fakahoko ʻa e fono ʻo e fakatāpuí, ʻi ha taimi pē ʻe talaange ai ʻe he kau takí pe fakahinohino ange ʻa e founga ke fakahoko aí.”
ʻI he taimi tatau naʻe aʻu atu ai ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ki Hihifo Mamaʻó, naʻe ʻaukau mai ʻa e Kāingalotú ki he hetikuata foʻoú, mei he fanga kiʻi kolo ʻo e Siasí ʻi he ʻIunaiteti Siteití pea mo Kānata. Naʻa nau nofoʻi ʻa e vāhengá ni, pea malava ai ke fokotuʻu ha siteiki foʻou. ʻI heʻene aʻu ki Siulai ʻo e 1838, naʻe hangē naʻe tuʻu lelei ʻa e fakakaukau ko ia ke fokotuʻu ha feituʻu malu ʻi he fakatokelau ʻo Mīsulí. Ka ko e ngāue faingataʻa ʻo e langa ha temipalé naʻe kei pōpōʻuli pē. Naʻe fiemaʻu ke kumi ʻe he Siasí ha founga ke langa ai ʻa e fale ʻo e ʻEikí neongo ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu vivili kehé.
ʻI heʻene fakakaukau ki he faingataʻa ko ʻení, naʻe tānaki leva ʻe Siosefa ha kau taki ʻe niʻihi ʻi he pongipongi Sāpate, ʻaho 8 ʻo Siulai 1838. Naʻe mahino ʻi he fakatahá ni naʻá ne ʻosi maʻu fakatouʻosi ʻa e fakahā ki he vahehongofulú (ʻoku hoko ko e folofola he taimí ni ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 119) pea mo e fakahā ki he anga hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e vahehongofulú (ʻoku hoko he taimí ni ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 120).
Naʻe lotu ʻa Siosefa ʻo pehē, “ʻE! ʻEiki, fakahā mai muʻa ki hoʻo tamaioʻeikí ʻa e lahi ʻo e ngaahi koloa ʻo ho kakaí ʻokú ke fiemaʻu ke hoko ko e Vahehongofulú?” ʻOku lekooti ʻa e lotú ʻi he tohinoa ʻa e Palōfitá, pea hoko atu ai mo e foʻi lea “Tali” pea toki hoko ʻa e fakahā ʻoku hoko he taimí ni ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 119. Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou fiemaʻu ʻa ʻenau koloa hulu kotoa pē ke ʻoatu ia ki he nima ʻo e Pīsope ʻo hoku Siasí.” Pea, ko e meʻa ʻoku hoko he taimí ni ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 119:2, naʻe fakahā ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻoku totonu ke fakavahehongofuluʻi ai ʻa e Kāingalotú. Ko e ngaahi ʻuhinga tatau pē ia naʻe mahino kimuʻa ke talangofua ki he fono ʻo e fakatapuí ʻoku lekooti ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 42: ke tokoniʻi ʻa e masivá, fakatau ha kelekele ki he Kāingalotú, langa ha temipale pea mo langa hake ʻa Saione koeʻuhí ke lava ʻa kinautolu ʻoku nau fakahoko mo tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fuakavá ʻo fakatahataha ki ha temipale pea mo haofaki.
ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakahaá, “ʻE hoko ʻeni ko e kamataʻanga ʻo hono fakavahehongofuluʻi ʻo hoku kakaí.” Ko e fuofua ʻasi ʻa e foʻi lea vahehongofulú ko e fuofua ʻasi ia hono fakaʻaongaʻi tuʻo tolu ʻo e (vahehongofulú pe fakavahehongofuluʻí) ʻi he vahe 119. ʻOku nau ʻuhinga kātoa ki he foaki loto-tauʻatāina ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e hulu ʻo ʻenau koloá. ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakahaá, “Pea ka hili iá, ko kinautolu kuo fakavahehongofuluʻi peheʻí te nau totongi ʻa e vahehongofulu ʻe taha ʻo ʻenau tupu kotoa pē ʻi he taʻu takitaha.” ʻOku ʻikai ke lau ia ʻe he fakahaá ko ha fono maʻulalo ange ke toe fetongi ʻi ha ʻaho, ka “ko ha Fono tuʻu maʻu kiate kinautolu ʻo taʻengata” pea ke fakaʻaongaʻi ki he Kāingalotu kotoa ʻi ha faʻahinga feituʻu pē.
ʻOku fakaʻosi ʻa e fakahaá ʻaki ʻa e fakatokanga fakatuʻutāmaki ko ʻení: “Kapau ʻe ʻikai ke tauhi ʻe hoku kakaí ʻa e fono ko ʻení, ke tauhi ia ke māʻoniʻoni, pea fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻi he fonó ni ʻa e fonua ko Saioné kiate au, koeʻuhí ke tauhi ʻi ai ʻa ʻeku ngaahi Tuʻutuʻuní mo ʻeku ngaahi Fakamāú, koeʻuhí ke fungani māʻoniʻoni ia, vakai, ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ko ha fonua ʻo Saione kiate kimoutolu.”
Naʻe fanongo ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻo Hihifo Mamaʻó ki hono lau ʻo e fakahaá ʻi he houalotu naʻe fakahoko ʻi he Sāpate ko iá. Naʻe toki fanongo ai ʻa kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu mamaʻo angé ʻi he uike hono hokó. Naʻe tohi mai ʻa Pīsope Pātilisi mei Mīsuli, kia Pīsope Uitenī ʻi ʻOhaiō, he naʻe ʻi he fakataha naʻe maʻu ai ʻa e fakahaá, ʻo fakamatalaʻi ʻa e founga ke fakahoko aí: “ʻOku fiemaʻu ʻa e kāingalotú ke nau foaki ʻa ʻenau hulu kotoa pē ki he nima ʻo e pīsope ʻo Saioné, pea ka hili ʻa e ʻuluaki vahehongofulu ko ʻení, te nau totongi fakataʻu leva ʻa e vahehongofulu ʻe taha ʻo ʻenau tupu kotoa pē.” Naʻe mahino kia Pīsope Patilisi ko e “vahehongofulu ʻe taha ʻo ʻenau tupu [fakataʻu] kotoa peé” ko e peseti ia ʻe 10 ʻo e tupu ʻe maʻu ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻo kapau naʻe fakahū ʻenau paʻangá ʻi ha foʻi taʻu kakato.
Taimi nounou pē mei hono maʻu ʻe Siosefa ʻa e fakahā ʻi he vahe 19, naʻá ne vahe leva kia Pilikihami ʻIongi ke ʻalu ki he Kāingalotú “pea vakai ke ʻiloʻi pe ko e hā ʻa e lahi e hulu ʻo e koloa ʻa e kakaí ʻoku maʻú, ki he hoko atu e langa ʻo e Temipale naʻa tau kamataʻi ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻó.” Kimuʻa pea ʻalu ʻa Pilikihamí, naʻá ne ʻeke kia Siosefa, “‘Ko hai te ne hoko ko e fakamaau ki he meʻa ʻoku ui ko e koloa hulú?’ Naʻe tala ange ʻe Siosefa, ‘Tuku pē kiate kinautolu ke nau hoko ko e kau fakamaau ʻo e meʻa ko iá.’”
ʻI hono akoʻi ange kiate kinautolu ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻEikí, naʻe hoko leva ʻa e Kāingalotú ko ha kau tauhi ʻoku haʻisia te nau lava ke fili ke totongi tauʻatāina ʻenau vahehongofulú pe ʻikai. ʻOku pehē ʻi he tohinoa ʻa e Palōfitá, “Kuo haʻu ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he ʻaho ki he ʻaho ke fakatapui, mo ʻomai ʻenau foakí ki he fale tukuʻanga koloa ʻo e ʻEikí.” Ka naʻe ʻikai ke fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe he Kāingalotú kotoa ʻa ʻenau tauʻatāina ke fili ke hoko ko ha kau tauhi fakapotopoto. Naʻe hahanu kimui ʻa Pilikihami ʻIongi he naʻe ʻi ai ha Kāingalotu ʻe niʻihi naʻa nau taʻe-fie-homo ʻi heʻenau ngaahi foakí.
ʻI he taimi ko ʻení, naʻe toe foaki ʻe he ʻEikí ha fakahā kia Siosefa ʻa ia ʻoku maʻu he taimí ni ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 120, “ʻo fakamahino ʻa e founga ki hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e ngaahi koloa ʻoku vahehongofuluʻí, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe ʻosi tuku atu ʻi he fakahā [ki muʻá].” ʻOkú ne tuku ki he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí, kau Pīsopeliki ʻi Saioné, mo e fakataha aleaʻanga māʻolunga ʻi Saioné ke nau fakakaukauʻi ʻa e founga hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e vahehongofulú, pea folofola ai ʻa e ʻEikí, ʻo fai ʻenau ngaahi tuʻutuʻuní, “ʻaki hoku leʻo kiate kinautolú.”

Ko e taimi naʻe fai ai ʻa e fakahā ʻoku hoko he taimí ni ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 120 ʻi he 1838, naʻe hoko ʻa Hihifo Mamaʻo ko e hetikuata ia ʻo e Siasí, pea naʻe kau ʻa e pīsope mo e fakataha alēlea māʻolunga ʻi aí ʻi he fakataha alēlea mo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí.
