Boston Massacre

Japan

"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.

Basic rules of engagement. It particularly helps in establishing 'who started it' when the finger pointing begins. It showed that we would defend our rights, but didn't want to start the hostilities.

The actual quote attributed to Captain John Parker of the Massachusetts Militia was "Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon...but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here."

It was the patriots
--


Actually, it's a lot more controversial than that. The Patriots weren't that innocent, either. They were calling British troops names and pelting rocks at them. Some soldiers panicked and fired. The colonists had a right to be angry, but to throw things at them then later saying that the soldiers fired at unarmed protesters is a little strange. I'm not picking a side here, I'm just trying to prove that not everything the Patriots did was right or rational, in this case.

For 20-10 minuets and 2:00 hours

From distancing themselves from God they have succumbed to the evil one and his influences.

Boston was really the epicenter of the American Revolution. Many patriotic groups operated out of the city, and in response to anti-British activities in the city, extra redcoats were stationed there. With the heavy penalties imposed on Boston, many natives were resentful. Eventually this led to some protesters provoking a patrol of British soldiers who opened fire and killed several Americans.

The ludlow massacre refers to the violent deaths of 19 people during an attack by the Colorado national guard on a tent colony of 1,200 striking coal miners and their families at Ludlow, Colorado on April 20, 1914. The deaths occurred after a daylong fight between strikers and the Guard. Two women and eleven children were asphyxiated and burned to death. Three union leaders and two strikers were killed by gunfire, along with one child, one passerby, and one National Guardsman. In response, the miners armed themselves and attacked dozens of mines, destroying property and engaging in several skirmishes with the Colorado National Guard.

Well through a depiction by Paul Revere and newspapers

Revere made a depction of the massacre that was printed in colonial newspapers. In the depiction it looked like the Americans were surrounded by the British and were helpless. It seemed like the British were the bad guys in the depiction since they shot at people and people fell dead. There was blood and a dog in the picture and oddly enough women in it too. The real way it happened was that the Americans were the ones antagonizing the Brits. Other Brits gathered and Preson ordered 'Darn you, fire!" supposedly to his troops to fire. No one knows for suer who fired that day but it was Preston's troops, when the smoke cleared there were people wounded and people killed-Samuel Marvick, Crispus Attucks and so on. It was started and provoked by the Americans. Revere's depiction was completely inaccurate but it was an effective form of propoganda. It made people in the colonies think that it was a "Horrible Massacre" (that was a colonail newspapers headline) and that it was the British troops fault for no reason.
