It was a group of drunken colonist who threw snowballs and rocks at British soldiers that started the fight. Everyone considered themselves British in this time. Much of what we think we know about this event is not true and there was a worse battle in New York in 1770 that we never hear about. In 1768 a Rhode Island man was killed in an argument with a British naval officer. John Adams defended the British troops who were put on trial for the deaths of 5 Americans and the Propaganda of the time made the event larger than life.
