ASERIES of counterfactual studies dealing with the Navigation Acts' cost to I the colonies has recently appeared.' These studies purport to test the 11. historical interpretation tying British Imperial policy to the American Revolution. In that interpretation costs imposed by British policy upon the colonists function as antecedents from which the American Revolution is deduced. Unfortunately none of these studies succeeds in testing the historical interpretation under question. Thomas found historians differing over the Navigation Acts' importance. He claimed he would resolve the disagreement. That disagreement was whether that policy's economic costs could explain the American Revolution. McClelland quickly and clearly states the historical interpretation he will test
