The Boston Massacre was part of a massive Propaganda campaign used by the Patriots to stir up the colonists into getting angry at the British. The Boston Massacre was not so much a massacre, but the accidental shooting of 5 people by British soldiers placed in Boston after the mobs of colonists were hitting the soldiers with rocks and ice. This was an effective way of getting many colonists passionate about war with England. The amount of soldiers involved in the incident is unknown.
