Ten Tea Parties by Joseph Cummins PDF Summary

Book Description: Everyone knows about the Boston Tea Party, in which colonists stormed three British ships and dumped 92,000 pounds of tea into Boston Harbor. But did you know about the Philadelphia Tea Party (December 1773)? How about the ones in York, Maine (September 1774) or Wilmington, North Carolina (March 1775)? This is the first book to chronicle all these uniquely American protests. Author and historian Joseph Cummins begins with the history of the East India Company (the biggest global corporation in the eighteenth century) and their staggering financial losses from the Boston Tea Party (more than a million dollars in today's money). In Philadelphia, Captain Samuel Ayres was nearly tarred and feathered by a mob of 8,000 angry patriots. In Annapolis, Maryland, a brigantine carrying 2,320 pounds of the "wretched weed" was burned to ashes. Together, these stories illuminate the power of Americans banding together as Americans--for the first time in the fledgling nation's history.--From publisher description.
