Can you make a video on the Boston Massacre on the Mac computer with no sound needed in the video that must prove whether the Boston massacre was a massacre or a propaganda?
Yes, you can make a video on any subject without sound, but to make a convincing video about whether or not the Boston Massacre was a massacre or propaganda would take a lot of research into the Boston Massacre that supports your thesis about which it was. Also, you might consider adding sound, since it would make the video much more interesting than writing words on the video that people would have to read.

What is wrong with the Boston massacre picture?
1. The soldiers did not line up in a line. 2. It looks like the guy in the back gave them an order to fire, but he did not. 3. There was not as much blood as it looks like there was. I think there was a little bit more that was wrong without the engraving, but I'm not sure what.

Other events between colonists and troops happened in other places, but you don’t read about them. One reason is that Boston was the center of anti British activists.
