28 Dez 1770 Jahr - Boston Massacre

Beschreibung:

"The Boston Massacre was what happened because of the results of the Stamp Act and Intolerable Acts." The Boston Massacre was when a group of British Soldiers shot into a crowd of colonists. It was a good thing for the colonists, because they could use this as propaganda against the British, and try to get more people on their side because they could make out the incident to be the British are ruthless killing machines and they should not be welcomed in the colonies. The reason the massacre happened was because a group of angry colonists who clearly were not happy they were there, started attacking the soldiers with words and throwing snowball and rocks at them. The troops retaliated and shot into the crowd.
