The soldiers stationed in Boston acted ______________________ and even ______________________ toward the colonists.
Before the formal start of the American Revolutionary War, events such as the Boston Massacre contributed to the escalation of hostile sentiments especially among the colonists. The opinion of British soldiers involved in the Massacre (or any of the other pre-war confrontations) would most likely have been approving, as British opinion of the colonists was generally negative, even contemptuous. It is possible that some few British soldiers were apathetic or even sympathetic toward the welfare of the colonists affected by the Massacre.

Boston Massacrea riot in Boston (March 5, 1770) arising from the resentment of Boston colonists toward British troops quartered in the city, in which the troops fired on the mob and killed several persons.
He taxed the colonists which led to the Boston Tea Party, and he created the Quartering Act.
{| |- | An engraving of the incident received much publication. And the image it portrayed of British Soldiers firing on unarmed Colonists was pretty vivid. It inflamed those that lived in the colonies at the time. Much of it was the journalistic slant given it by the Colonial Press. |}
It was a minor incident that was exploited to paint the British as violent oppressors, a simple propoganda ploy. The Boston Massacre was a mob of colonists provocing British soldiers because of the ridiculous taxes being forced on the colonies, but it was never meant to paint the British in a bad light; they did that themselves. And it realy doesn't matter if it was an attempt to make them look bad because they only shot five colonists.
Paul Revere was a silversmith (a person who melts, carves, and welds silver), in the times of the Revolutionary War. On account of the Boston Massacre, he carved a scene depicting the Boston Massacre as a merciless slaughter of colonists by the British troops, not an accident egged on by colonists throwing objects and unseen by the soldiers in the dead of night. He inspired many to become Patriots or at least agree with the idea of independence. Also, he rode on horseback before the Battle of Lexington and Concord when the British soldiers marched toward Concord to take away a rumored stash of weapons there, to warn the citizens of both Lexington and Concord of the incoming soldiers and ready the minutemen (citizens who fought as soldiers for the colonies' independence and could be ready to fight within a minute's notice) in both those towns.
Colonists were a people separate from Britain. For Apex.
