History Rage

68. The Boston Massacre was not a massacre with Chaz Mena


Listen Later

This week we welcome author, actor, producer, 18th Century enthusiast and long friend of History Rage Chaz Mena. Chaz wants to rage about the Boston Massacre on the Boston Tea Party because these are not what they are cracked up to be.


We'll be talking how the position eight British soldiers found themselves in was used to bolster the independence cry, how they were defended by Americans, and how the Boston Tea Party was a lot less of a protest against Britain than you might think.
