Boston Massacre

The British evacuated Boston in March 1776 primarily due to the strategic military situation following the Continental Army's fortification of Dorchester Heights. The placement of cannons there, brought from Fort Ticonderoga by Henry Knox, threatened the British fleet and their ability to maintain control over the city. Faced with the prospect of an untenable position and increased American resistance, General William Howe decided to withdraw his troops to preserve them for future conflicts. The evacuation marked a significant early victory for the American forces in the Revolutionary War.

The Boston Massacre was not really a massacre, but more like a riot. In fact only five people died. One of the most common myths is that the BM was the event that led to the Revolutionary War. In fact, many important events led up to the massacre. It was called a massacre by the use of propaganda. It mainly started by the British trying to enforce laws. British Soldiers were sent to America to enforce the Proclamation and to maintain order but their presence just made matter worse. It all started March 5 by a couple of boys throwing snowballs at British soldiers. A crowd soon gathered throwing ice and making fun of them. Soon after, the British started firing wildly. Other weapons were clubs, knives, swords, and a popular weapon, your own bare hands.

Samuel Adams argued that the Boston Massacre was a fight for American liberty. He portrayed the event as a brutal attack by British soldiers on innocent colonists, framing it as a pivotal moment in the struggle for freedom. Adams used this narrative to galvanize public sentiment against British rule and to rally support for the colonial cause. His efforts were crucial in shaping the revolutionary spirit among the colonists.

The wire that glows is typically a filament made from materials like tungsten or nichrome, used in incandescent bulbs or heating elements. When an electric current passes through it, the resistance causes the wire to heat up and emit visible light due to incandescence. This glowing effect occurs at high temperatures, often exceeding 1000 degrees Celsius. In modern applications, such as LED lights, this glowing wire is often replaced with more energy-efficient technologies.

The Boston Massacre has come to be a representation of the oppression that the British subjected the American Colonies to prior to their independence.

it was effecting their relationships because colonies were mistrusted and Everyone was mistrusted they were under careful watch.

You can't. It's their choice whether they want to show pride for their country or not. You don't have control over their actions, thoughts or feelings.

The American Colonists were not completely innocent in the Boston Massacre because they were the ones who started the massacre by throwing ice and snow at the British Soldiers

paul reverie had an engraving about the Boston massacre.

he used propaganda to convince the people that he civilians were defensless.

1. a citizen has his back turned

2. there is a puppy in front of the civilians symbolizing their helplessness.

3. a church behind the battle showing that maybe the soldiers had no regard for religon or church. since they killed people in the presence of a church building.

4. A a building behing the soldiers it says "butchers market" is right above the soldiers referring that it was a slaugter.

it all tries to give the idea that the soldiers committed a haneous crime.

Use Hurley's numbers.

A picture of the Boston massacre would have an angry mob of American colonists protesting against british soldiers. Some colonists would be dead due to the soldiers firing at the crowd.

The Boston Tea Party was a protest of the lowering of the cost of the British tea by the government and the East India tea company who had gotten a bail out from the crown in 1773. The smugglers in the colonies found the Dutch tea that they sold was higher in price than the British tea, so they staged the Boston Tea Party and others in harbors in the colonies ( Hamilton was one of the largest smugglers in the colonies and a founding member of the Son's of Liberty). The cost of tea also went as far back as the Navigation Acts and the restricting of trade to and from the colonies passed from 1650-1733. Tea was also taxed in 1767 in the Townsend Acts. The Boston Massacre happened in 1770 and was a great propaganda tool for men like Paul Revere ( he drew the picture featured in the handbills of the time) who were trying to sway public opinion against the British. The actual events did not happen as were reported and John Adams defended the soldiers who were put on trial ( modern historians have proven the events were different than the myth. See History Channel programs). So, as you can see they were not connected except for the fact it all took place in the colonies.

On the night of March 26, 1953, a group of homesteads on the Lari ridge was attacked by a large body of men. An estimated 97 people died. This was the Lari Massacre.

Th Boston Massacre was a response to The stationing of british soldiers in Boston

Laws passed to taxed good such as glass, paper, paint, lead, and tea. The colonists did not want to pay the taxes the British law made, and the British did not like that so the two sides (colonists, British) tension went up and that led to the Boston Massacre
