“The Boston Tea Party is arguably the best-known event leading up to the war for independence, but a number of leading Revolutionaries, including Benjamin Rush and John Adams, held that it actually started in Philadelphia. Resolutions adopted during a Philadelphia town meeting on Oct. 16, 1773 set the stage for the Boston Tea Party in December and another lesser-known tea party in the City of Brotherly Love just weeks later.” (10/16/24)
