Boston Massacre

The Boston Massacre involved nine British Army soldiers who were being harassed and verbally abused by an angry civilian mob. Without being ordered to do so, the soldiers fired into the crowd of people, killing five and injuring six.

The Maya kept time with a combination of several cycles that meshed together to mark the movement of the Sun, Moon and Venus. Their ritual calendar, known as the Tzolkin, was composed of 260 days. It pairs the numbers from 1 through 13 with a sequence of the 20 day-names. It works something like our days of the week pairing with the numbers of the month.

People died for protesting against the brits with clubs and throwing rocks, snow and ice. one of the british soldiers was hit with a club and fired the the rest fired.

it lead 2 war because the king of englend made some many new laws and taxes that everybody got really mad and some couldn't afford it the taxes were unfair!!! british soldiers were even their 2 make sure everybody obeyed!!! then he made the british soldiers be fed and housed frum the ppl!!! this caused even more financial issues!!!

Lobsters were the British Soldiers. Their long red coats with the white shirts and split tails made them look like a lobster from behind. Lobster was a very common food, particularly among the lower classes during colonial times, so that was another sort of insult.

the newspapers made it look like it was all the soldiers fault. Paul Revere drew a picture with the british general behind his soldiers rather than in front because if e was in back it means he was commanding them to fire at the colonists. the colonists provoked the redcoats by yelling at them and throwing stuff at them such as sharp oyster shells, glass, rocks, wood. the soldiers were merely defending themselves. but the newspapers make it look like the soldiers shot at the unarmed crowd of colonists for no reason at all.

False.

he didnt want the world to see the colonies as having no justice

It started downtown Boston

British Parliament had repealed (Take back laws) the Townshend Acts earlier that very day.

The demonstrators were protesting for reasons that included a general dissatisfaction with the PRI (Industrial Revolutionary Party) regime and increasingly oppressive governmental actions (including the occupation of schools).

The Boston Massacre 1770 five Boston colonists died on Mar 5 1770 when a colonists shouted '' Fire'' and British soldier started shooting

69 black South Africans were killed in the Sharpeville Masscare by Government forces

You need to be more specific, or perhaps consider the possibility that the question cannot be answered by anyone here.

All were related to British Taxes. The stamp act was and is a tax. New York still has it. The Boston Massacre happened because high taxes put a lot of people out of work just like in New York today. People out of work blamed solders (revenuers) enforcing the tax laws. They threw stones at them (Infitada). The solders shot them. The Boston Tea Party occurred because the colonists opposed a tax on tea and would not let a ship unload its tea until the tax was repealed. Tea is not taxed specifically except in places that have sales tax.

Paul Revere produced and reproduced the broadside of that incident, He was not there and no person could testify at the court martial where the first shot was fired from. To stand tall and alert in front of a mob that outnumbers you by 10 or 15 to one is not an easy task. It was a propoganda victory for the colonials, and maybe it should be left at that.

A few colonists had been drinking and saw a lone British soldier who was in charge of guarding a building. They started harassing the soldier and were throwing snow at him. More soldiers showed up to help the soldier. Slowly the few drunk colonists were joined by more and more colonists armed with clubs, sticks, and even knives. One of the soldiers was knocked to the ground accidentally firing a shot. Out of panic, the other soldiers shot into the crowd, fearing they were being shot at. The man in the painting made by Paul revere, is shown signaling to fire, but he had actually ordered the soldiers to stop shooting. The crowd broke and ran. The soldiers killed three people immediately, they shot two more people which then died from their wounds.

One of the men that died that day was a black man named Cris pus Attucks, widely regarded as the first martyr of the Revolution.

The Boston Massacre was called the Boston Massacre, to be used as a tool of rhetoric. It was by no means a massacre, seeing as only five people were killed. It was a way for patriots like Paul Revere to uprise the spirits of the people and turn them against the British.

The Boston Massacre helped create the idea among American colonists that a Revolution can be possible
