“The active business of the American Revolution began in Philadelphia.” That’s what Benjamin Rush and John Adams believed – because the spark that ignited the Boston Tea Party wasn’t in Boston. It was lit in Philadelphia on October 16, 1773. This forgotten piece of history involves fiery protests, bold resolutions, and even letters from the Committee on Tarring and Feathering.
