DECEMBER 16: BOSTON TEA PARTY (1773)
Today is the 238th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party.
On this day in 1773, colonists angry at British officials for refusing to return taxed tea back to Britain boarded three ships, throwing the entire shipload of tea into the Boston Harbor.
This History Detectives episode explores how some mysterious scrawled notes in the margins of a 1775 almanac tell a family’s story of the Revolution.
The scrawled notes give host Elyse Luray a rare, intimate insight into how conflicting loyalties may have strained personal relationships during the Revolution.
