Who started Boston massacre?

Nobody knows for sure. The Americans were throwing things at the British soldiers - they were throwing ice, rocks, and insults at them. One of the British soldiers thought he heard the command, "Fire," and he fired his gun into the crowd. All the soldiers started to get scared and shot into the crowd.


What happpend at the Boston massacre?

The Boston Massacre is considered the start of the American revolution. Colonists who wanted freedom from Britain and had heard of a recent brawl between a Redcoat (British soldier) and a colonist. Angered they decided to throw snowballs at an off-duty Redcoat. Colonists saw this and joined throwing snowballs and shouting insults at the Brittish. The Redcoats were angered. Soon, other Redcoats saw this and came to join. The colonists had gotten far too roudy and a British officer Captain Thomas Preston had told his Redcoats to fire. After the smoke cleared four were dead and others injured. One died later on. One of the victims was Crispus Attucks, a black man. He was a hero because he is considered to be the first African Colonist to die in the Revolutionary war.


What was the loyalists views on the Boston massacre?

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.
