mar 5, 1770 - The Boston Massacre
Description:
A fight broke out between the soldiers and colonists in Boston, on the same day that parliament repealed most of the townshend acts. Only five people were killed, so it was not really a massacre. They called it a massacre because if people heard about it they would be more interested in it.Added to timeline:
