The Boston Massacre was not really a massacre, but more like a riot. In fact only five people died. One of the most common myths is that the BM was the event that led to the Revolutionary War. In fact, many important events led up to the massacre. It was called a massacre by the use of Propaganda. It mainly started by the British trying to enforce laws. British Soldiers were sent to America to enforce the Proclamation and to maintain order but their presence just made matter worse. It all started March 5 by a couple of boys throwing snowballs at British soldiers. A crowd soon gathered throwing ice and making fun of them. Soon after, the British started firing wildly. Other weapons were clubs, knives, swords, and a popular weapon, your own bare hands.
