One of the soldiers ended up firing, which then the rest began as well. The Sons of Liberty gave this event the name of the Boston Massacre. John Adams, who was a lawyer and the cousin of Samuel Adams, was the person who stood up for the British Soldiers saying that they were just defending themselves from the colonists.Added to timeline:
