Description
Everyone has heard of the Boston Tea Party, but few know about the other tea parties that took place at the same time. Boston, Philadelphia, New York City, and Charleston all had to deal with the ships from England's East India Company coming to deliver tea to the colonies-tea that had a very high tax attached. America's Tea Partiesprovides background on England's taxation of the colonies, with emphasis on the Stamp and Tea taxes, the larger social and political issues the colonies were having with England, why it was crucial that these tea parties happened, and the revolution these demonstrations led to. The book is illustrated with archival images and includes an author's note, endnotes, time line, bibliography, and index.
Reviews / Votes
**STARRED REVIEW**"A very fine piece of historical reclamation that broadens our understanding of the road to revolution." * Kirkus * "Moss (Barbed Wire Baseball) again delves into America's past, digging beneath the veneer of textbook accounts to reveal nuanced, lesser-known angles of a historical event." * Publisher's Weekly * ... The historical accounts are expertly told, and readers will be easily drawn in... A great purchase for supplementing American Revolution curriculum units. * School Library Journal * This book is a quality resource for educators and students looking for an in-depth perspective of early America's tea troubles. * School Library Connection *
