How did the colonist and the british soldiers viewpoints differ about the Boston massacre?

Before the formal start of the American Revolutionary War, events such as the Boston Massacre contributed to the escalation of hostile sentiments especially among the colonists. The opinion of British soldiers involved in the Massacre (or any of the other pre-war confrontations) would most likely have been approving, as British opinion of the colonists was generally negative, even contemptuous. It is possible that some few British soldiers were apathetic or even sympathetic toward the welfare of the colonists affected by the Massacre.


What event occurred when British troops killed 5 colonists?

You are asking about the Boston Massacre, but the event was propaganda for the colonists who were wanting to show a cause for leaving the British crown. Paul Revere drew a handbill to spin the event into something much more than it really was. Most history books today show the drawing when writing about it. Other events between colonists and troops happened in other places, but you don’t read about them. One reason is that Boston was the center of anti British activists.
