What turns protest into revolution? In this episode, The Boston Massacre and Tea Party, we look at two flashpoints that lit the fuse of rebellion. First, British soldiers firing into a crowd left five colonists dead—an event branded as a "massacre" that fueled outrage across the colonies. Just three years later, patriots dressed as Mohawks dumped chests of British tea into Boston Harbor, turning anger into open defiance. These weren't just isolated clashes—they were powerful symbols of injustice, resistance, and unity. If you've ever wondered how tension in one city could ripple into a full-scale revolution, this episode takes you straight to the streets of Boston.
