Boston Massacre

A total of 76 men, women, and children, including David Koresh all died.

Captain Thomas Preston, Corporal William Wemms, James Hartigan, William McCauley, Hugh White, Matthew Kilroy, William Warren, John Carrol, and Hugh Montgomery were the accused soldiers of the Boston Massacre.

During the American Revolutionary Period, British troops were stationed throughout the Colonies even before formal war broke out. Their duties included providing security for the colonists and enforcing obedience to the laws and other regulations laid down by the British government.

The Boston massacre was more about propiganda than anything else.

I agree. The British troops who fired on Americans were basically being harassed and menaced by an angry mob. They fired only after they were pelted with snowballs, ice chunks, and rocks.

At the time of the incident there were many colonists who sere opposed to British troops being stationed in North America and they described the event in a manner that would discredit the British troops and gain support for their own campaign to rid America of the British Army.

The word massacre is also an overstatement as just five men died. It is one of the earliest example of the press influencing popular opinion.

It contributed to the American Revolution because the killing of five colonist angered the Americans, it was also used as a symbol of Enlish injustice in the colonies. This event was also used as a reason of why the colonist should break away from a corrupt English government that were trying to take away the colonist basic rights.

Another Answer is that the English shot and killed a couple of people in the boston massacure and they were feed up so they went to war

Well, The Treaty of Paris came before and after the intolerable acts. The Treaty of Paris (1763) was signed by France and Great Britain at the end of the Seven Year War (French and Indian War) that was the war that actually sparked the American Revolution. Great Britain thought it would be a good idea to get it's money back from winning that war and so decided to start taxing the colonists which finally led to British Parliament passing the Coercive Acts (Intolerable Acts) in 1774.

The other Treaty of Paris (1783) was the treaty that was signed by Great Britain and the United States of America at the end of the American Revolution.

If you defended British soldiers who were in the Boston Massacre in court, you are John Adams.

Say you are one of the British soldiers. You have been sent to the colonies to protect the colonists who have settled there. One night a small group of them begin to pelt you with snowballs. No big deal, just ignore it. But, soon the snowballs become rocks and bricks, and the people are yelling out insults. Don't you think you would become pretty irritated? I mean, these are the people you are protecting from hostile Indians and French! Not that I agree with the soldiers killing these people, actually I think that they completely overreacted, but they probably thought that soon they could possibly be stoned to death. In addition, firing the weapons would do one of two things- not kill the colonists and simply scare them away, or kill them and end the riot. Unfortunately, the result was death, but to the Loyalists, at least the situation was controlled.

The only way that you can join the ms-13 is that you have to be loyal to ur gang. You can be Latin,Spanish,southamerican and sometimes white or black. U must go through a 13 second beat down which involes about 5 gangmembers to jump in. After 13 seconds ur apart of ms-13. Good luck to all

The people of Boston (Aka the Patriots) had some pretty mean names for the British soldiers. They were called Redcoats due to their red uniforms, and Lobseterbacks because back then everyone hated lobsters and the uniforms were red. They also called them Regulars, Kings men, and other names still around today.

"The Bloody Massacre," Paul Revere

The poem is a part of the Revere print of that title. Where can I see it in easy to read print?

not enough food and weapons. many of the soldiers were dieing too

snow/ice balls, rocks, cobblestones, and harsh language

Understand that the Boston Massacre was a sudden turn of events. The British were the ones with the guns that fired upon the crowd. However, the colonists were throwing bottles, rocks, and whatever else they had on them at the British Soldiers before the actual Massacre.

he had three..at least that's what i head..they were "farmer king george", "mad king george", and "bull head george"..well these are what i think..

Sam Adams put up posters that described the "boston massacre". the posters showed a slaughter of innocent americans by blood thirsty red coats.

On March 16, 1968, My Lai Massacre, Charlie Company, 11th Brigade, is on a "search and destroy" mission in the hamlet of My Lai. Something goes horribly wrong, resulting in violent death for hundreds of unarmed civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. After one and a half years, the officer at My Lai, Lt. William Calley, is brought up on murder charges. News of atrocities at My Lai doesn't reach public media until November 1969. In March 1971, Calley is convicted and sentenced to life; he is paroled in September 1975 after serving three and a half years.

The American revolution took place in the current east side of America (from New York to Georgia, and some parts of Canada).

The American revolution was the people in America at the time rebelling against the British monarch.

The revelation first stated as a complaint against taxes that the rich colonist were not used to paying.

He felt they were ungrateful spoiled brats. When the Boston tea party happened he got mad but only saw them as if they were naughty children. It wasn't until Bunker Hill that he got mad and saw them as traitors to the crown.

First, things would have not been so complicated for the Colonists to live furthermore. Second, the Boston Massacre was indeed tragic... but people tell me that it wasn't an accident. The British wanted this to happen because the colonists didn't follow their rules.

the british soldiers vs the American colonists

American colonists had surrounded the British officials and started harrassing them. They threw snowballs, taunted, and shouted. A mob formed and chaos erupted. There were many people and much confusion. One account bases the act of them firing because of the sheer confusion. Another states that one man dropped his gun and it went off, spurring the others to follow suit by shooting into the crowd.

The British soldiers were never ordered to fire, a British soldier in the ranks had a rep as a worl reknowned fighter on the docks and his crew and friends made money by taking bets, A young Irishman who was an American colonist took up his challenge to avenge wrongs done to his family and friends by the British, The Irish lass Beat him to a pulp. The same laddy was in the crowed and the fiort shot by the boritish was an attempt to get even with him by the British soldier he had whupped.

This was the Boston Massacre.

It happened on March 5, 1770, in Boston, Massachusetts. British soldiers killed 5 civilians, and injured 6 others. British troops had been stationed in Boston to enforce unpopular Parliamentary legislation. A mob formed around some British soldiers, and in response, they fired into the crowd, instantly killing 3 people and wounding others. 2 more people died later of wounds sustained in the incident.
