In The Boston Tea Party Ignites the Revolutionary War, host Andrew Marr describes how Samuel Adams and fellow colonists rebelled against British rule by destroying a shipment of tea in Boston Harbor. This act of defiance would ignite the Revolutionary War and set the stage for the birth of a new nation governed by revolutionary ideals. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Andrew Marr's History of the World, a story of human history that uses reenactments, modern footage, and storytelling to explain history’s greatest achievements.
In Interpreting the Boston Tea Party, historian Lucy Worsley learns how opinions of the revolt in Boston have changed. At the time, it was thought of as an aggressive and illegal action. It became known as the Tea Party 50 years after the event. With each retelling, it takes on a new meaning. This video is excerpted from BBC's American History's Biggest Fibs with Lucy Worsley, in which Worsley reveals the myths and manipulations behind American history.
The article “The Global Legacy of the Boston Tea Party” from BBC's HistoryExtra explains how the 1773 protest in Boston was influenced by global trade, colonial oppression, and the British Empire's economic crisis.

We've all had daydreams of the biggest, bestest party ever! What does your dream party look like, kiddo? Design the invitation by writing your name, filling in how old you will be, draw yourself playing a game, and more. Then plan the menu (sausage and ice cream?), circle the best place for your party (park or play place?), and check off some of the awesome stuff you'll get up to (play charades or musical statues?).
