Ben Franklin sends his apprentice reporters to cover the Boston Tea Party and the city's subsequent occupation by British soldiers in two animated episodes of PBS's award-winning series. At the direction of Benjamin Franklin, Moses, James and Henri travel to Boston in search of Sarah and happen upon a rebellion against "taxation without representation" in Boston Tea Party. Then, in Intolerable Acts, Moses, James, Sarah and Henri hide at poet Phillis Wheatley's house in Boston, where some of His Majesty's soldiers are being quartered.
