Episode 180: The Boston Tea Party: Tea, Taxes, and Trouble (This episode is for Max Hanna!) In this episode of Real Cool History for Kids, we travel back to colonial Boston to learn about one of the most important events leading up to the American Revolution! Why were the colonists so upset about tea taxes? What did "No taxation without representation" mean? And what happened on that cold December night when colonists disguised themselves and dumped 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor? Join us as we learn about courage, freedom, and one of the moments that helped lead America toward independence. ๐ŸŽง Families: Be watching for something NEW coming soon to the Real Cool History for Kids homepage!
