The Boston Massacre, known today by many people. Some even say it was the start of the Revolutionary War. Colonists were protesting to the British when shots were fired. Five young men were killed. It was another spark for rebellion. But there has been question going around for a while. Was the Boston Massacre an accident? Many people wonder, was the Boston Massacre an accident? The Boston Massacre could have been an accident. There were many possibilities that it was an accident. One way it was

The Boston Massacre was an event which occurred on the fifth of March, Seventeen - Seventy. Prior to the shooting the British government imposed on the colonies a heavy series of taxes, such as the Stamp Act. Where, “the stamps required to conduct business legally are locked away, and officials debate whether ports and courts should close or remain open. Colonists groan under the burden of the Stamp Act's restrictions and the fear of disobeying it.”1The goal of these taxes was to pay off the

I think that the British soldiers acted in self defense during the Boston Massacre. The colonists were threatening and provoking the soldiers by shouting vulgarly, beating people with clubs, and throwing rocks covered in snow, so I believe that the soldiers had a right to fight for their lives. Just take a moment to imagine the Boston massacre, it’s late at night and people are tired and confused. The colonists are shouting “Fire and be damned, who cares! Damn you, you dare not fire,” (Exhibit B)

Was the Boston Massacre an accident, people say it was, people say it wasn't. Till what I´ve heard the Boston Massacre is not an accident because according to the articles many witnesses were there to experience it such as Benjamin Burdick he had a testimony of the Boston massacre that he said in court. Another guy that was there to witness the horrible traject was Nutent Prince both of them saw what happened. Nutent Prince supports either side because it says in source D that he saw snow balls

it was the soldiers fault by writing articles and drawing pictures. I know this because if you see the image that Paul Revere about the Boston Massacre it shows how the colonist are just standing there begging for mercy but it seems that the soldiers are being mischievous by killing the colonist. This picture was drawn by Paul Revere, this image was made in Boston. This supports my evidence because Paul Revere was in a group called “Our Sons of Liberty” which was against the British Government, so

reporting live from the scene. This British have just send in troops to retain order in Boston. Sources say that someone from the colonist crowd taunted a British official. The British troop would then fire into the crowd. These fire shoots would then lead to 5 colonist dying, and leaving 6 more wounded. This eventually would lead into the Crispus Attack. Many are starting to call this tragedy the Boston Massacre. In the previous events the British was taxing the mess out of the colonist. Everything

Crispus status was a free man or a runaway slave has been matter of debate of historians. He was temporarily in Boston by the early 1770’s and recently returned from a voyage from the Bahamas. John Adams defended most of the accused British soldiers because they were charged with murder. But to years later the United states Founding father Samuel Adams named the event the Boston Massacre to help assure it would not be forgotten. John Copley created an image of event. But

The evidence, from the 7 eyewitnesses, support that the colonists were the aggressors during the fateful evening of March 5, 1770, the Boston Massacre. Some cited evidence proves it. Number one, “I saw the people throw snowballs at the soldiers and saw a stick 3 feet long strike a soldier upon the right” (Theodore Bliss). In other terms they were assaulting the soldiers with pieces of snow or ice at them, afterward they hit one of them with a 3 foot club. This shows that the soldiers didn’t shoot
