Frederic Cardew
Colonel Sir Frederic Cardew, KCMG (27 September 1839 – 6 July 1921) was a British Army officer and colonial governor. He was Governor of Sierra Leone from 1894 to 1900. The hut tax that he introduced led to the Hut Tax War of 1898.

Hut Tax War of 1898
The Hut Tax War of 1898 was a resistance in the newly annexed Protectorate of Sierra Leone to a new tax imposed by the colonial governor. The British had established the Protectorate in 1896 to demonstrate their dominion over the territory to other European powers following the Berlin Conference. The tax constituted a major burden on residents of the Protectorate; 24 indigenous chiefs had signed a petition against it, explaining its adverse effects on their societies, to no avail. The immediate catalyst for hostilities was an attempt by British colonial officials to arrest the Temne chief Bai Bureh, a general and war strategist, on the basis of rumours. Although often depicted as the chief who initiated an armed resistance in the North in 1898, late 20th-century sources suggest he was unfairly identified by the colonial government as a primary instigator, with the government's hostile actions provoking the war. Later that year, resistance arose in the south by the leading Mende.
