It was, in its earlier stages at least, a strife between two diff- erent political and ex It was no unrelated event, but formed a part of the history of the race on both continents, There was a Brit- ish revolution at the same time there was an American Revolution. The British revolution was to regain liberty. The American Revolution was 10 preserve liberty. On both sides of the Atlan tie the king's prerogatives were the alm of rev- olutionary attack. Now, as to the many things that may be read between the lines of what Hancock and Frank lin said, here's just a hint: Hancock was a rich merchant, It was part of the purpose of the British troops at Lexington and Concord to cap- ture Hancock. At that time Hancock was re. spondent in the Admiralty court in suits of the crown to recover nearly half a million dollars as penalties alleged to have been Incurred for viola: tion of the laws of navigation and trade. Han- cock had inherited his fortune from his uncle, Thomas Hancock, who had become wealthy smug. gling tea. So it was no more than right that John Hancock should sign hig name large and plain to the document which, if made good, would save him from financial ruin and give him free com: merce with all the world, Benjamin Franklin, publisher, printer, philos- opher and statesman, sevenly-one years of age, the oldest member of CONgress, was more con. cerned with the political than with the commer. cial aspects of the situation. He made a clever jest, but no man there knew better that there is many a true word spoken in jest, So the truth ig that on our side of the ocean the fundamental causes leading up to the Revo lution were both political and economic—-and pos. gibly quite ns mush economic as political. To ar rive at the main features of the situation, the fol- lowing chronology is helpful: 1760-—~Accession of George III. Conquest of Can. ada by British, 1761—Revival of navigation and trade laws of 1060 and 1603.

The most casual glance at this skeleton chro nology shows it to be literally loaded to the musz- zle with the eighteenth century equivalent of pe- litical and economic TNT. The American Revo lution was inevitable, sooner or later. The mar- vel Ig not that it eame, but that out of the condi. tions grew a nation. What a chaos It was! The title to the colonies was not in the people of England or in the state, but in the crown. The crown could make and re- peal laws; could appoint rulers and remove them. The colonists were not citizens of the realm. but subjects of the crown, having only such rights as granted them in their charters. The crown claimed and exercised the right to amend or revoke these charters, Such rights and no more did the American colonists have, according to the view of the party in England which stood for legal and constitutional prerogatives of the crown. These claims of the crown were resisted by every col ony as incompatible with its essential rights and by the anti-prerogative party In England, Of the thirteen colonles seven were royal eol- onles, three charter and three proprietary col. onles. Each colony wag related to the others only through the crown. All the conditions tended rather to Intercolonial hate than love. Find the causes that drove the colonies together and there are the causes of the Revolution, George III was a stickler for the kiag's pre rogatives, One of his first acts In relation to the colonies was to revive the navigation and trade laws which had been only nominally enforced for a century. As a matter of fact all the colonies were technically smugglers, in that their evasion of these laws gave them practically free trade. diers ir governor of Massachusetts ling charter of Massa- itinental Congress at Siege of Montgomery. voles to raise chooses 1776 Con- i !

This cumulation of activities on the part of the crown seems to have convinced the colonies that their only salvation lay in getting together for united action. So the First Continental Congress met. This congress was merely deliberative and advisory: It issued a declaration of rights; it importation agreement; it forwarded a petition to the king and set out an address to the onles: it provided for another congress to meet in 1775. Still there was no open discussion of independence. col powder barrel. General Gage summoned the pro vincial congress to meet in Salem, but put off the date of assembling. The delegates met without him and his counsellors, appointment of a committee of safety and issued a call for 12,000 “Minute Men,” Parliament then declared Massachusetts to be In a state of re pellion. Next was the expedition out of Boston to seize powder and to arrest the two chief “trait. ors’. Then came the “shots heard ‘round the world” and bloodshed, The fight was on. And still there wns no open movement for independence until after u year of bloody fighting. It was net until June 7, 1776, In the Second Continental Congreéss, that Virginia's instructed delegate, Richard Hen- ry Lee, introduced the resolution beginning, “That these united colonies are, and of right ought to pe, free and independent states" The Declaration of Independence, as drafted by Thomas Jefferson with the aid of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert I. Livingston and amended by congress, consists of two principal parts: A statement of American and a list of abuses by King George III that had operated to absolve the united colonies from all allegiance to the British crown, The facts here in set forth make clear most of the abuses as out. lined In the Declaration.
