because John Adams thought everyone deserved a fare trial.
He wanted to show the world that the colonists believed in justice, even if the British government did not.
yes
The British soldiers.
no one did. The boston Massacre happened in new England not in England. Now if you asked who stopped the British soldiers from massacring british citizens living in north america at the time the answer would be no one. They fired into a crowd.
Go study yourself you lazy
he was scared
he was scared
Samuel Adams did not defend the British soldiers after the Boston Massacre. John Adams defended them. Sam really disliked them and went against them. John (a cousin of Sam) didn't really like them either but he did defend the British soldiers in trial for the Boston Massacre
The Boston Massacre was a symbol for the Colonists to rebel, but, the British were shooting only to defend themselves. There was also the Boston Tea Party, in which Colonists (dressed as Native Americans) threw tea into Boston harbor, to protest the tea tax.
The Boston Massacre. In defense of the British, the Colonists were throwing sticks and stones at the soldiers and the British were just trying to defend themselves. It was not really murder, it was self defense.
John Adams and Josiah Quincy agreed to defend the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre primarily because they believed in the principle of justice and the right to a fair trial, regardless of public opinion. Adams, in particular, felt that everyone deserved legal representation, and he was committed to upholding the rule of law. Their defense aimed to emphasize the importance of legal rights and due process, even in highly charged political situations. This decision was controversial, as it put them at odds with the revolutionary sentiments of many colonists at the time.
one thing is that he remembered he could as very well get in ALOT of trouble if the patriots won and he did think that it wasn't fair to the British for defending themselves and their was a thing that said you could defend yourself if needed
