America's tea parties : not one but four! : Boston, Charleston, New York, Philadelphia
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"America's Tea Parties: Not One But Four!" is the first nonfiction picture book to ever share that New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston each had their own tea party that took place around the same time as Boston's. "America's Tea Parties" provides background on the English taxation on the colonies, with emphasis on the people who stood up for their rights against the tyranny of the British as ships from the East India Company pulled into their harbors. It explains the Stamp and Tea Acts, the larger social and political issues that the colonies were having with England, why it was crucial that these tea parties happened, and the revolution that the tea demonstrations led to.
