Ben Franklin's World: A Podcast About Early American History

In December 1773, the Cape Cod Tea Crisis revealed that the people of “radical” Massachusetts were far from united in their support for the American Revolution.

In this episode we speak with four scholars to explore the complexities of political allegiance during the American Revolution.
