The stage is set. Britain's East India Company dispatches four laden ships bound for American shores, their cargo: tea. In the heart of Boston, colonists face a pivotal decision. Will they accept the tea, return it, or dare to defy the crown? The clock ticks down as tensions reach a boiling point!
Join John and returning special guest, historian Dr. Benjamin Carp, as they unravel the suspenseful days leading to the arrival of these ships in Boston Harbor. In this thrilling conclusion to our Boston Tea Party series, discover the bold figures and dramatic moments that culminated in the infamous night of December 16, 1773. How did Britain react to the Boston Tea Party? What role would agriculture go on to play during the revolutionary war? And can we point to this event for the reason Americans prefer coffee over tea today?
