Reasons For The Boston Massacre

On March 5th 1770 a horrendous war broke out between the British troops and the Bostonians, it was called The Boston Massacre. 6 were killed and 5 were injured both troops and citizens. Some people have tried to blame this war on the citizens and most blame it on the soldiers. The bostonians started the fight but they most likely didn't think that it would escalate to the point it did. They took advantage of the soldier in acting in this way and got what they deserved.

On the day of the Boston Massacre the bostonians were reported to be throwing rocks and snowballs at the troops. They were also taunting them by calling them “lobster backs” and telling them to fire if they dare. The bostonians were wrong and very disrespectful
