They were founded for their bad reputation with no laws and increased racial tensions, what so ever. They brothels, grog shop acting as a servant to attend the whalers and sailors needs. Known as the hellhole of the pacific, the musket became an important item the had caught their interest. Wars will break out moari and European, whalers and seamen.

The settlers were using their freedom because there were no laws to prevent them from doing it. As the settlement increase the British investment also increase, but the governor felt responsible to her people. This came to inventing the treaty of waitangi, moari signing it solution to their problem [lawless].

It was said if they stated British governorship in new Zealand. Moari will have ownership to the land, properties and its surrounding, Giving right to British civilian. It was thought by the British crown that when, the lieutenant governor Williams Robson. Have recently made the declaration of British society over new Zealand, date of the time they had confirmed on may 1840. Moari people would not have thought that their rights have been thrown to the side and forgotten about. Once they have sorted it out and translated for the moari to understand [signification]. Send it to the north first, the leader and chiefs there signed it.
530-540 chief signed the treaty of waitangi, maybe 13 of them woman's. Even do some chief went against the signing and caution about it, it still work out in the end. An immediate reaction to the treaty signing was queen Victoria government. Gain the sole authority to purchase lands, in the total finalized copies were 9 in fact including the copies in the street. Some miscommunication happen while trying to translate the English version into moari.

Musket wars lead to many killings that affected the population. The moari people changed, there were trades that were also affected by this. There were a lot of fought throughout new Zealand (3000). Among moari between 1807- 1837, when the musket were shown into new Zealand. Moari people were trading off their corps, lands and resources. Engaging in an arms race with the other tribe, trying to gain territory and seeking revenge from the past defeats. The battle cause 20000-40000 death people sacrificing their lives in this. People enslave thousand of moari, the war were seen as fatal impact of indigenous contact with European. Many more were enslaved or became refugees, musket turned the way of inter tribal warfare. The price started to increase, plus the European disease taking hit. Some relationships started to grow, becoming good rivals.

King William united kingdom was seeking an alliance and protection from other power. Its was used for moari people to trades with other countries. James busby took the next step, booking a gathering, called at waitangi. At the end of the meeting 34 rangatira signed the agreement he whakaputanga o te rangatiratanga o nu tireni. Translated in English [declaration of independence of the united tribes of new [Zealand]. The Declaration of Independence did more than saying colonies freedom, wanted to explain what kind of freedom. It listed all the bad things that the king had done to the colonies, trying to say the they also have rights. Feeling that is was worth fighting for. This is similar to moari rights on the treaty, them fighting for what they truly believe in. declaration was the raising of the treaty. It started from the independence leading on to waitangi, it seem more. Reasoning for why shouldn't stop there and go on further. Assume people wanted more that lead on to muskets war, settlers and whalers. It couldn’t have stopped there, more power to gain absorbing more money [weather]. Controlling more parts of the earth, but it really depends on their point of view what are they trying to accomplish here. Is this going to benefit on their behalf [who knows] .
The treaty was needed for all the political reasons. British wanted governor over new Zealand, moari obtaining land and substances. Europeans, protection, rights and depth information. That was caused to coexist with these laws and rules. For the past history the treaty made a huge conflict in new Zealand. People making better choices and fair trades and people actually getting what their sign for. Making new Zealand stronger and better as today.
