The British soldiers were never ordered to fire, a British soldier in the ranks had a rep as a worl reknowned fighter on the docks and his crew and friends made money by taking bets, A young Irishman who was an American colonist took up his challenge to avenge wrongs done to his family and friends by the British, The Irish lass Beat him to a pulp. The same laddy was in the crowed and the fiort shot by the boritish was an attempt to get even with him by the British soldier he had whupped.

The Boston Massacre was part of a massive propaganda campaign used by the Patriots to stir up the colonists into getting angry at the British. The Boston Massacre was not so much a massacre, but the accidental shooting of 5 people by British soldiers placed in Boston after the mobs of colonists were hitting the soldiers with rocks and ice.
