John Adams. He defended the soldiers because he felt they needed a good defense and that they were innocent until proven guilty.
The Boston Massacre was one of the pivotal "atrocities" committed by the British which galvanized the Americans against their former homeland. It took place in Boston Massachusetts in 1770. What appears to have happened was that an angry mob started harassing British soldiers. The soldiers panicked and fired a few shots into the crowd. Five people were killed and six were wounded. In my opinion, it was more of a well done publicity stunt by the patriots, than a massacre by the British, because in my mind 5 deaths is by no means a massacre, especially if it was in self defence. But whether it was a massacre or not, it was very useful to the patriots because it caused many people to support their cause.
Boston Massacre
The British sent troops to enforce rule in Boston because of many problems in Boston like the revolutionists. Sending the soldiers made many civilians in Boston angry. The troops were allowed to stay at peoples homes. So sending troops in to Boston made people more angry.
The loyalists remained loyal to the British throughout the American Revolution.
