      title = {America's tea parties : not one but four! : Boston,  Charleston, New York, Philadelphia /},
      abstract = {Everyone knows about the Boston Tea Party, but few know  about the three other tea parties that happened at about  the same time. Philadelphia, New York, and Charleston also  had to deal with ships from England's East India Company  that were coming to blanket the colonies with large amounts  of tea - tea that had a very high tax attached. America's  Tea Parties tells the story of all four American ports and  how the people dealt with the "tea problem." The book  provides background on England's taxation of the colonies -  with emphasis on the Stamp and Tea taxes - and explains why  it was crucial that the tea parties occurred and how the  people of each port worked together to form a united front.  The colonists' cooperation and willingness to fight took  the colonies a crucial step closer to igniting the American  Revolution. Award-winning author Marissa Moss deftly  interweaves accounts of the individual tea parties and the  local people and events with the larger social and  political issues of the times. -- from dust jacket.},
