Colonists had thrown rocks and snowballs at the soldiers.
During the American Revolutionary Period. the thirteen colonies initially protested (perceived or actual) excesses of British rule in a wide variety of ways: pamphlets were written, letters were sent, meetings were held, public protests were organized, goods were not bought or even destroyed, and eventually troops were raised and drilled while arms were stored in the event of war. Finally, the protest reached the point of a 'Declaration of Independence' and the waging of active war for almost a decade before independence was achieved.
The colonists used propaganda, such as the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party, to portray the British as oppressive and tyrannical rulers. These events were exaggerated and publicized to generate support for the colonists' cause for independence.
