both of those are not true the Boston massacre started because a man did not pay his bill for a wig so he got in a huge fight and the people around heard a unpleasent fight around and everybody crouded around and everybody started to fight and it got really bad. liar
Youre all wrong. The boston massacre started when american protestors threw snowballs and stones at the British because they were occupying the city of Boston. The british fired without orders, killing five men. The whole wig thing is a myth. The guy actually had paid his bills the day before. Look it up.

∙ 10y agoThe Boston massacre was caused by the British when the riot was so loud that the British couldn't hear his allies so when the British fired a shot, the leader yelled "HOLD YOUR FIRE" And when the troops couldn't hear, one of them heard one word only and that was "fire". As he fired the rest of them did the same causing the Boston massacre.
