The Boston Masscre took place in Boston. What happened is that young rebels came out in the night and started beating the British taxpayers. The kids threw snowballs. Then a few British Soldiers had been guarding the area stood in a straight line ready to fire if anymore violence was to be used. The Patriots dared the Loyaltists to shoot. At the end five people were dead. One was a freed slave, Crispus Attucks also known as a sailer The colonies twisted the story saying that the regulars ( british) fired at innocent people. They used this to show to the Congress that the british had fired at them. John Adams defended the soldiers in court saying that the Colonies asked for it. Still today no one knows who made the first move or if a colonist by accident pulled the trigger.
