What caused the Boston Massacre?
The Boston Massacre started because of the colonists (people in the streets) were throing snow balls, ice balls, rocks, and anything else they found in the street at the soldiers, so the Captain ordered the soldiers not to fire, but with all the crazieness, one of the soldiers panicked and fired. Then everyone else started to fire shots and that is how 5 colonists end up dead in the end, and this is how The Boston Massacre started. The Boston Massacre started because, a young boy had thrown a snowball and had a horrible aim. He hit the british officer, the british officer over reacted and thought the boy had purposly throw the snowball at him. So he shot the boy, screams grew, the collinist were frightened, people ran and fought with the british officers. Two people had died that day, and many hurt badly. That was the cause of the Boston Massacre. The British taxed the colonies mistreated citizens and killed many people.
Why the Boston massacre happened?
The Boston Massacre happened because a lot of colonists began to throw rocks and snow balls at the Redcoats. One of the soldiers called for backup and more soldiers came. The leader of the group shouted "Hold your fire!" one of the men only heard "Fire!" thus making him think that he should shoot his gun. The other men thought they should shoot to because he shot his gun..... it was a misunderstanding.
