The Revolutionary War came on, and the Colonies were thrown upon their own resources, compelling them to encourage the textile industry more than ever before. It was a case of necessity. At the close of the war, England flooded this country with fabrics and yarns at a price much less than such products could be manufactured here. This led to various laws imposing duties upon English made goods in order to protect and stimulate home industries. During the war little knowledge reached America rel...ative to new and improved textile machinery used in England. Special laws preventing copies, designs or models leaving England as well as the immigra- tion to America of artificers, and they were enforced with great vigilence, which greatly hampered the introduction of the new systems of manufacture in America. So the Americans were compelled either to smuggle or invent their machinery, and both methods were practiced until most of the secrets of the industry were made available in this country prior to the year 1825.
