How did the Boston massacre become one of the causes of the American revolution?
It didn't become a cause, but was a means for propaganda. The massacre happened in 1770 and the war began in 1776, so it wasn't a factor in the war. Actually, there were other events between soldiers and colonists that were worse than Boston, but Revere drew a picture ( seen in history books today) that showed troops shooting colonists. This was not the reality of the event and in the trial that followed John Adams defended the soldiers that were involved. The History Channel has a good program on the massacre that uses current modern tools to prove the story we think we know is not true.
What were the events that linked the Boston massacre at the Boston tea party?
They weren't linked. The only thing is they both happened in Boston and were years apart. The Boston Massacre was spun by Paul Revere in hand bills to create distrust between the colonies and the British. The events we think we know for the massacre and the tea party are NOT what really happened. Watch the history channel program on the Boston Massacre in the series unknown history.
How did colonists meet British soldiers in the first battle?
They met by an assembled line across Bunker Hill!
How did the Boston massacre turn even more colonists against the British?
The event was really used as a propaganda for the men who wanted revolution. Revere drew handbills showing the British soldiers shooting colonists, but the reality of it was much different and the Boston massacre wasn't the only thing to happen like that. Yet, the other events weren't used to try to convince people that they needed to fight. John Adams was the lawyer for the soldiers and they were found not guilty. The handbills weren't seen in most places outside of Boston so the influence was short term. The history channel did a program on the series Unsolved History about the Boston massacre that disputed what we think we know about it. It is worth watching.
Do you think the colonial outrage over the Boston massacre was justified?
When the soldiers were keeping older they were attacked by colonists and the soldiers defened themselves by firing. So yes it was justified for the brittish. America did not deserve to wage war with Britain...

Why do you think the Boston shootings were called a massacre when only five people were killed?
While it may have been a comparatively small number who were killed, to the colonists who had become angrier and angrier about the way the British treated them, this was further proof that a revolution was needed.
