The Leper War on Kauaʻi also known as the Koʻolau Rebellion, Battle of Kalalau, or the short name, the Leper War. Following the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the stricter government enforced the 1865 "Act to Prevent the Spread of Leprosy" carried out by Attorney General and President of the Board of Health William Owen Smith. A revolt broke out in Kauaʻi, against the forced relocation of all infected by the disease to the Kalaupapa Leprosy Colony of Kalawao on the island of Molokai.
