In the 31st episode of Liberty's Kids, The Complete Series, titled "Bostonians," viewers are transported back to the year 1773. The episode begins with James and Sarah walking through the streets of Boston, observing the tension that has built up among the residents in response to the Tea Act passed by Britain.

James and Sarah meet up with Moses, a former slave who now runs his own business in Boston. Moses tells the children about how he and other African Americans were involved in the protests against Britain's unjust treatment of the colonies. He explains how the Sons of Liberty, a secret society of patriots, are planning to protest against the tea tax by dumping tea into Boston Harbor.

James, Sarah, and Henri then witness the famous Boston Tea Party. They watch as the Sons of Liberty, disguised as Native Americans, dump hundreds of crates of tea into the harbor. However, not all the Bostonians are supportive of these actions. Some are concerned that they will only lead to harsher penalties from Britain.

As the tension continues to rise in Boston, Sarah and Henri interview John Adams, a prominent leader of the revolutionary movement. Adams explains the importance of the colonists remaining united in their struggle against Britain and urges them to find a way to work together to achieve their goals.

Meanwhile, James goes undercover to gather information on British troop movements in the city. He meets Paul Revere, who lends him a horse to ride to Lexington to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock of the approaching British soldiers.

The episode ends with the colonists preparing for battle. James, Sarah, and Henri watch from afar as the brave Bostonians stand up against the might of the British Empire in what will become known as the Battle of Lexington and Concord.
