In Thanksgiving this week, on the Debrief, we honor the sacrifices of those who came before us and made our freedoms possible. This engaging mini-documentary with the North Carolina History Project illustrates a powerful act of defiance in American history—the Edenton Tea Party. The bold women of Edenton, North Carolina, risked their safety and livelihoods to stand against British oppression in a historic protest that echoed across the colonies and into the annals of history. Their unyielding courage demonstrated the power of collective action, regardless of gender or station. This is their story. Their legacy. Their letter to the king.
