DOWNLOAD EBOOK →On Thursday, December 16, 1773, an estimated seven dozen men, many dressed as Indians, dumped roughly £10,000 worth of tea in Boston Harbor. Whatever their motives at the time, they unleashed a social, political, and economic firestorm that would culminate in the Declaration of Independence two-and-a-half years later. The Boston Tea Party provoked a reign of terror in Boston and other American cities as tea parties erupted up and down the colonies. The turmoil stripped tens of thousands of their homes and property, and nearly 100,000 left forever in what was history's largest exodus of Americans from America. Nonetheless, John Adams called the Boston Tea Party nothing short of "magnificent," saying that "it must have important consequences." Combining stellar scholarship with action-packed history, Harlow Giles Unger reveals the truth behind the legendary event and examines its lasting consequence--the spawning of a new, independent nation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Unlike previous books on the Tea Party, this work looks at the second phase of party growth to show that what was once considered a monolithic movement is truly a collection of different opinions. Since the Tea Party exploded onto the American political scene, it has matured and changed, but the differences that now exist within the movement are largely unacknowledged. A more nuanced understanding is called for. Previous treatises have sought explanations for the rise of the movement and focused primarily on its early days. This book, in contrast, focuses on understanding the diversity within the party, challenging the notion that the Tea Party is a homogeneous political movement defined mainly by its ultra-conservatism, regionalism, and rigid political orthodoxy. To accurately depict the Tea Party as it exists today, the book explores how the party evolved from its first phase to its second, examining important distinctions in terms of who has joined and who has served in Congress and other offices. Differences in Tea Party organizations around the country are examined and their funding sources considered. The book also explores the political positions taken by Tea Party members, looking at the voting records of party legislators to see if they've adhered to stated movement objectives. Finally, and perhaps most intriguingly, the author speculates on what this all means and suggests possible futures for the diverse Tea Party strands.

As millions are realizing, our country’s future has been dangerously compromised as the national debt spirals out of sight to pay for a litany of irresponsible federal policies: “Obamacare,” Wall Street sweetheart deals, liberals’ pet social programs, Congressional pork, foreign aid, and new military adventures. Dick Armey and Matt Kibbe–economists and influential supporters of Tea Party activists and candidates across the country–explain what’s at stake, why limited government is the answer to our crisis, and how we can renew American prosperity by studying the lessons of the revolutionary era. This paperback edition also features a new foreword by Glenn Beck.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Everyone knows the story of the Boston Tea Party—in which colonists stormed three British ships and dumped 92,000 pounds of tea into Boston Harbor. But do you know the history of the Philadelphia Tea Party (December 1773)? How about the York, Maine, Tea Party (September 1774) or the Wilmington, North Carolina, Tea Party (March 1775)? Ten Tea Parties is the first book to chronicle all these uniquely American protests. Author and historian Joseph Cummins begins with the history of the East India Company (the biggest global corporation in the eighteenth century) and their staggering financial losses during the Boston Tea Party (more than a million dollars in today’s money). From there we travel to Philadelphia, where Captain Samuel Ayres was nearly tarred and feathered by a mob of 8,000 angry patriots. Then we set sail for New York City, where the Sons of Liberty raided the London and heaved 18 chests of tea into the Hudson River. Still later, in Annapolis, Maryland, a brigantine carrying 2,320 pounds of the “wretched weed” was burned to ashes. Together, the stories in Ten Tea Parties illuminate the power of Americans banding together as Americans—for the very first time in the fledgling nation’s history. It’s no wonder these patriots remain an inspiration to so many people today.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Are Tea Party supporters merely a group of conservative citizens concerned about government spending? Or are they racists who refuse to accept Barack Obama as their president because he's not white? Change They Can't Believe In offers an alternative argument--that the Tea Party is driven by the reemergence of a reactionary movement in American politics that is fueled by a fear that America has changed for the worse. Providing a range of original evidence and rich portraits of party sympathizers as well as activists, Christopher Parker and Matt Barreto show that what actually pushes Tea Party supporters is not simple ideology or racism, but fear that the country is being stolen from "real Americans"--a belief triggered by Obama's election. From civil liberties and policy issues, to participation in the political process, the perception that America is in danger directly informs how Tea Party supporters think and act. The authors argue that this isn't the first time a segment of American society has perceived the American way of life as under siege. In fact, movements of this kind often appear when some individuals believe that "American" values are under threat by rapid social changes. Drawing connections between the Tea Party and right-wing reactionary movements of the past, including the Know Nothing Party, the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s, and the John Birch Society, Parker and Barreto develop a framework that transcends the Tea Party to shed light on its current and future consequences. Linking past and present reactionary movements, Change They Can't Believe In rigorously examines the motivations and political implications associated with today's Tea Party.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →On February 19, 2009, in the wake of the umpteenth government attempt at stimulating a broken economy, CNBC commentator Rick Santelli unknowingly set off a powder keg of protest when he told viewers, "We're thinking of having a Chicago Tea Party in July! All you capitalists that want to show up to Lake Michigan, I'm going to start organizing!"Barely a week later, a group of a few dozen otherwise average Americans heeded Santelli's rant and created their own TEA Parties. By that April, protests were underway in hundreds of cities around the nation and before two years had elapsed the TEA Party had shifted the entire political equation, overcoming a President who had swept into office with a mandate for fundamental change and a massive majority in Congress to carry it out.Because it was, at its heart, a grassroots effort to restore the people's voice and eventually rightsize the federal government to a more Constitutional size and scope, I was a very willing participant in the TEA Party when it came to my adopted hometown of Salisbury, Maryland in April, 2009. As a participant in the political process thanks to my elected office, I was right there to watch how it affected government, and as a blogger and political writer I observed how the TEA Party became perceived by average people in my hometown.By the summer of 2016, though, I was completely disillusioned with the political scene, in part because of the unfulfilled promise of the TEA Party. Once I resigned my political post in August of that year I began writing The Rise and Fall of the TEA Party. Originally its premise was the belief that Donald Trump had killed the TEA Party, but - as I found out in the many hours of reading and research that have gone into this book - it was those disaffected folks who were once true TEA Party believers that came out of the woodwork and carried enough states to put Donald Trump into office. A group without a leader found a leader who didn't have a political group to back him, and the marriage lasted long enough to elect a President.But reading and research wasn't all. In the process of writing I reached out to a number of those who were among the earliest organizers of the TEA Party, pressing them for their thoughts and recollections. Their input is the most valuable resource in making this a comprehensive overview of the TEA Party movement, which truly started months before Santelli spoke and continues to influence the political world today - but not in the way you may think. The Rise and Fall of the TEA Party is updated through the 2018 midterms and beyond, making it a relevant volume to understand our current political scene.I'll close this description with a quote from onetime Tea Party Express president Mark Williams, one of a number of early leaders I interviewed for this book: "The author interviewed me (among others) for this book. I have read the galley and it is a very good analysis of what happened. He also walks a tight line of impartiality and tells the story from the point of view of someone who is examining an object of curiosity. It's a well-done, fair work of recent history. I would highly recommend it as a read."I hope you'll agree. And I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that there's a payoff at the end of the book: the idea for where to begin with TEA Party version 3.0
