    In February1898, an armed uprising occurred in the Protectorate of Sierra Leone soon after the collection of a so-called ‘hut tax’ began in January. The rebellions against the British colonial rule continued for approximately nine months until they were suppressed in November. In Sierra Leone history, this large-scale insurrection is referred to as the Hut Tax War. The British government appointed David Patrick Chalmers as a royal commissioner and dispatched him to Sierra Leone to research the causes and investigate countermeasures. His report was finally submitted to the British Parliament in 1899. The aim of this essay is to examine why the Sierra Leone’s 1898 Hut Tax War occurred, based on the diverse attitudes and opinions of contemporary people expressed in the records of testimony and documents included in Chalmers’ report. This essay mentions six reasons why the war broke out: the introduction of the hut tax, brutality by the Frontier Police Force, inexperienced and overbearing district commissioners, the abolition of slavery and slave-dealing, the loss of authority by the chiefs, and the betrayal by the Creoles. The essay does not pursue a single unambiguous explanation of the truth regarding the causes of the Hut Tax War. Rather, it attempts to elucidate the multifaceted reality of the Hut Tax War as internalised, narrated, and constructed by people involved both directly and indirectly.
