mar 5, 1770 - Boston Massacre (5 mar 1770)

Description:

Colonists in Boston were harrassing British soldiers, throwing snowballs, stones, and sticks. The British soldier fired into the crowd, killing 3 instantly and wounding 8, 2 of whom died later. This event gave way to much of the anti-British propaganda used by the colonists in the call for change.
