Boston Massacre

You were Crispus Attucks.

townspeople and soldiers

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.

Yes, there was a fair trial for the British soldiers. Their lawyer was John Adams. They were charged as follows:

William Wemms - not guilty

William M'Cauley - not guilty

James Hartegan - not guilty

Hugh White - not guilty

Warren - not guilty

Carrol - not guilty

Hugh Montgomery - not guilty of murder, but guilty of manslaughter

Matthew Kilroy - not guilty of murder, but guilty of manslaughter

They branded Montgomery's and Kilroy's thumbs, so they didn't have to go to prison.

The soldiers did not eat anything during the so-called massacre. It was begun and done too fast for anything but firing of weapons.

The Nanking Massacre happened on December 13th, 1937. No known death count is available for the Nanking Massacre, as records were not held at that time.

because of the white people they did not want black people to live in hockland park

The day that the Boston Massacre occurred, Parliament repealed the Townshend Acts, a series of laws passed in 1776 that raised money in the colonies in order to cover the salaries of both governors and judges, therefore making them independent of colonial rule.

he spread the word of the boston massacre

The British didn't treat them nicely, there were too many taxes for no reason, and they didn't have Independence.

Paul Revere and Samuel Adams were successful in portraying the Boston Tea Party.

The Boston massacre affected the English colonies in a way that you wouldn't even think of........ It affected the colonies by sort of threatening them, by having soldiers come to the English colonies, and forcing them to move. On the other hand, the colonist did do their part in threatening the soldiers also. They were trying to influence the soldiers to shoot.

Stamp Act (1765), Boston Massacre (1770), Boston Tea Party (1773), and Coercive Acts (1774)

your mom HAHAHAHA

The colonists started to throw rocks and snowballs at the soldier who was on duty that night and the soldier called for backup.

John Adams

It is very bloody and scary

The fable of Revere comes from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 and in reality he didn't ride through the night yelling about the British coming. Longfellow wrote his poem on the eve of the civil war to remind people of the nation's history. Somehow the poem became part of history and was put into history books as fact. Revere never finished the ride, his horse was taken away and he was held by a British patrol, but thanks to Longfellow we all know who he is. He billed Congress for the ride and the cost of the horse since it was taken from him and it didn't belong to him. It was borrowed from Rev. John Larkin and was named Brown Beauty. Larkin refers to it in his will. His one big contribution was the picture on a flier after the Boston Massacre showing colonist getting shot by the British. This was pure propaganda and was used to incite discontent between the colonist and the British troops. The true facts of the event are much different than what he drew.

The Boston Massacre happened on March 5, 1770. thats when it started

It was an incident on 5 March, 1770. British soldiers shot at american colonists and killed 5 of them. Later it was called a 'massacre' by the Americans to increade hatred against the British.

Yes. You learn this in the 5th or 7th grade. The people who were protesting were throwing rocks and snowballs at the soldiers, protesting against the tax. The soldiers were supposed to shoot over their heads', but they didn't hear the general's command. So basically, yes, if they didn't throw stuff, they wouldn't be dead.

from O.Fr. macacre, macecle "slaughterhouse, butchery," perhaps from L. macellum "provisions store, butcher shop.

Paul Revere died in his home in Boston, Massachusetts on May 10, 1818 at the age of 83.

Christopher (Crispus) Attucks, African-American sailor who was the first to fall. Attucks' past remains mysterious, but he likely escaped slavery around 1750 and spent the next twenty years working whaling ships. The only victim of the Boston Massacre whose name became widely known, Crispus Attucks was memorialized as the first hero of the American Revolution.

The patriots rebeled against kind George the second man hoph because of all of the rules he set. As in the sugar act stamp act , currency act, etc. He was very selfish and rude. He laid way to many laws and taxed way too many things.
