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.
the person who named the Boston massacre was Horatio gates dad he was a housekeeper but also influenced many people he named it because of his son Horatio gates was shot in the first shooting of it.
The 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.
Type your answer here... it got its name because a massacre is when you kill unarmed people
Because a massacre is when you kill a group of unarmed people.

The Boston Massacre was called the Boston Massacre, to be used as a tool of rhetoric. It was by no means a massacre, seeing as only five people were killed. It was a way for patriots like Paul Revere to uprise the spirits of the people and turn them against the British.

The Boston massacre was when the colonist were calling the red coats lobster backs and the Commander there said do not fire their guns but the did not hear it right so there was a killing of 5 people that day. That is why it is called the Boston massacre. Three civilians were shot and killed and a day later two more people were killed by a stabbing not a shooting.
