episode 128: Tea, Tax & Revolution: Boston Tea Party Aftermath
Why did the Boston Tea Party happen? Why Boston? And how did the events of December 1773 fit in to the American Revolution?
In this episode, we are taking a broader look at the Boston Tea Party with Benjamin Carp, the Daniel M. Lyons Professor of American History at Brooklyn College. Why was tea the focus of debate and how did it become such a legendary patriotic event.
Benjamin is the author of ‘Rebels Rising: Cities and the American Revolution’; ‘Defiance of the Patriots: The Boston Tea Party and the Making of America’; and ‘The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution’
Produced and edited by Sophie Gee. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
