What was the Boston massarce?
it was when the colonists were throwin snowballs nd some other items at the British soldier. den the British soldier attacked on of the colonist creatin a crowd of ppl agaisnt the british soldier. so the a small number of british troops came nd the used their guns nd shot five of the colonist. them it got a national name nd it was Boston massarce It pretty much started the way it said above. This started with the tax. The colonists didn't like to pay the tax that England (I think) was making. This started the hatred and the thoughts of independence. Colonists were calling soldiers names like "Bloody-Backs" and "Lobster-Backs," making fun of their clothes. One day, a colonist hated the soldiers so much, he threw a rock at him. The colonist started calling names. More soldiers came for back-up. More colonists came too. They started argueing and they started fighting.
