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 \\u2018Rebels Rising: Cities and the American Revolution\\u2019; \\u2018Defiance of the Patriots: The Boston Tea Party and the Making of America\\u2019; and \\u2018The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution\\u2019


Produced and edited by Sophie Gee. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
