EPOCH III. THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.
From 1775 the Breaking out of the War,
To 1787 the Adoption of the Constitution.
CAUSES OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
[Illustration]
REMOTE CAUSES. England treated the settlers as an inferior class of people. Her intention was to make
and keep the colonies dependent. The laws were framed to favor the English manufacturer and merchant at
the expense of the colonist. The Navigation Acts compelled the American farmer to send his products across
the ocean to England, and to buy his goods in British markets. American manufactures were prohibited.

[Footnote: The exportation of hats from one colony to another was prohibited, and no hatter was allowed to
have more than two apprentices at a time. The importation of sugar, rum, and molasses, was burdened with
exorbitant duties; and the Carolinians were forbidden to cut down the pine-trees of their vast forests, in order
to convert the wood into staves, or the juice into turpentine and tar for commercial purposes. Read Barnes's

THE DIRECT CAUSE was an attempt to tax the colonies in order to raise money to defray the expenses of
the recent war. As the colonists were not represented in Parliament they resisted this measure, declaring that
TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION IS TYRANNY. The British government, however, was
obstinate, and began first to enforce the odious laws against trade. Smuggling had become very common, and
the English officers were granted
WRITS OF ASSISTANCE, as they were called, or warrants authorizing them to search for smuggled goods.
