Download Ten Tea Parties: Patriotic Protests that History Forgot AudioBook Free
Everyone knows the storyplot of the Boston Tea Get together - where colonists stormed three British boats and dumped 92,000 pounds of tea into Boston Harbor. But do you know the background of the Philadelphia Tea Get together (Dec 1773)? Think about the York, Maine, Tea Get together (September 1774) or the Wilmington, NEW YORK, Tea Get together (March 1775)? Ten Tea Celebrations is the first booklet to chronicle all these uniquely American protests. Creator and historian Joseph Cummins commences with the history of the East India Company (the biggest global firm in the eighteenth century) and their staggering financial deficits through the Boston Tea Get together (more than a million dollars in the current money). Following that we happen to be Philadelphia, where Captain Samuel Ayres was practically tarred and feathered by way of a mob of 8,000 irritated patriots. Then we establish sail for New York City, where in fact the Sons of Liberty raided the London and heaved 18 chests of tea into the Hudson River. Still later, in Annapolis, Maryland, a brigantine transporting 2,320 pounds of the "wretched weed" was used up to ashes. Mutually, the reviews in Ten Tea Celebrations illuminate the power of People in the usa banding along as People in the usa - for the very first time in the fledgling nation's background. It's no wonder these patriots remain an motivation to so many people today.
