On an April night in 1775 hundreds of British troops were been rallied for the express purpose of bringing to justice a pair of revolutionaries that had set the entire city of Boston on fire - Samuel Adams and John Hancock.

These men were the architects of an almost three year long crisis that had driven the citizens of Boston into outright rebellion against their colonial masters, leading the charge in what would soon become the American Revolution.

In our episode this week we'll honor the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party which just passed on December 16th, by looking at the story of how the spark of rebellion began in Boston and how the secret work of Adams, Hancock, and the Sons of Liberty culminated in a moment where the destruction of a common man's beverage became a symbol of outright rebellion against the most powerful Empire on earth.
