Alan Williams, David. "Boston Tea Party." Encyclopedia Americana. N.p.: n.p., n.d. N. pag. Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. Web. 8 Nov. 2012. <http://go.grolier.com>. This article was very helpful and easy to read. It was straight to the point and gave relevant information on my topic. I liked using this article to develop the background information on The Boston Tea Party because that is what this article was mainly focused on. It gave the background information on the topic, and gave a short list of after-effects, both long and short-term.
"Boston, December 20." The Boston Gazette [Boston, Massachusetts] 20 Dec. 1773: n. pag. Print. This source was overall not very helpful in my research. The benefit was that it was a primary source from the time of the Boston Tea Party, which gives a sense of the time. This source was a newspaper from the day after the Boston Tea Party, and it was accurate in describing the events that transpired the night before. This source was only helpful as a supplement to my other research, but I could use it to prove that the events were true.
"Boston Tea Party." ABC-CLIO. N.p.: n.p., n.d. N. pag. ABC-CLIO eBook Collection. Web. 8 Nov. 2012. <http://americanhistory.abc-clio.com>. This source was my second source, and it was much like the source I got form Encyclopaedia Britannica. It had a sufficient amount of background information which was helpful in kicking off my research. It made it easy to formulate ideas and a stance on what I would write about for my project. This source did have somewhat vague info, but it was useful nonetheless. Also, this article seemed slightly opinionated, but nothing that would hinder the validity of the source.
"Boston Tea Party." Encyclopaedia Britannica Online School Edition. N.p.: Encyclopaedia Britannica, n.d. N. pag. Encyclopaedia Britannica. Web. 7 Nov. 2012. <http://school.eb.com>. At first, this source seemed like it would not be very helpful. I needed when I first started researching to get some background information, as it was my first source. I could not use much of the information at first because it was so broad, but as I got into further research, I was able to use more of the information from this source. I ended up using lots of info from this source, and it helped me structure my research.
Buescher, John. "Why Was the Boston Tea Party Not Stopped by British Troops?" Teaching History. National Education History Clearinghouse, n.d. Web. 1 Dec. 2012. <http://teachinghistory.org/history-content/ask-a-historian/20343>. The original reason I came across this source was because I was curious about a specific question regarding the Boston Tea Party. I wanted to know why the British troops who witnessed the Tea Party firsthand did not try to stop the perpetrators by force. I looked up this question and found this article that addressed this question and had a good amount of other information as well. It was useful as a source to answer my specific question and find other interesting facts about the Boston Tea Party.
"Coercive Acts (1774)." ABC-CLIO. N.p.: n.p., n.d. N. pag. ABC-Clio. Web. 26 Nov. 2012. <http://americanhistory.abc-clio.com/Search/Display/254077?terms=Coercive+Acts>. This source was a primary source. It was very long and very hard to read. There were certain articles that I did not even bother to read in this source because they were not relevant to my topic. I picked and chose the specific info that I wished to include form this source and it helped to further my already in-depth research. It was helpful in giving specific consequences of the Boston Tea Party.
Hewes, George. "Boston Tea Party." The History Place. N.p., n.d. Web. 13 Nov. 2012. <http://www.thehistoryplace.com/unitedstates/revolution/teaparty.htm>. This source is an eyewitness account of one of the Boston Tea Party participants. It was written about fifty years after the Boston Tea Party, but no historians have challenged the validity and accuracy of the account. This source was helpful in researching specifics about the night before and the night of the Boston Tea Party. The writing style is somewhat difficult to understand as it is written in old English, but all the major points are easily gleaned from the information presented.
Mansell-Time Life Pictures/ Getty Images. "Boston Tea Party." Encyclopaedia Britannica. Britannica, n.d. Web. 30 Nov. 2012. This source was an illustration from encyclopaedia Britannica.

"The Tea Act." America's Homepage. Steven Thomas, n.d. Web. 15 Nov. 2012. <http://ahp.gatech.edu/tea_act_bp_1773.html>. This source is a primary source. It is the Tea Act written out as it was by Parliament in 1773. The Tea Act was enacted prior to the Boston Tea Party, so it helps develop some background on the topic. It also is one of the main reasons why the Tea Party took place, so it seemed appropriate to include it and make use of it in my research.
