What best describes the events of the Boston massacre?

Answer 1

For one thing, it really wasn't a "massacre"-- in fact, most historians believe the firing was an accident. The British soldiers were being accosted by a crowd of antagonistic colonists who were throwing snowballs and jeering the soldiers. The soldiers did not fire on the crowd till someone, no-one knows who, yelled "Fire." The captain of the soldiers denied giving that order and there was some evidence that it might have come from the colonists. Samuel Adams made the most of the incident by calling it the Boston Massacre, and the name stuck because it motivated the colonists, who were already feeling oppressed by the British. Also, one of the people killed was a free black man, Crispus Attucks.
