5 mar 1770 ano - Boston Massacre
Descrição:
an officer (White) left his post and challenged the boy who was insulting him, and struck him on the side of the head with his musket.
As Garrick cried in pain, one of his companions, B. Broaders, began to argue with White. This attracted a larger crowd. Henry Knox came upon the scene and warned White, "if he fired he must die for it."
En route, Henry Knox, again trying to reduce tensions, warned Preston, "For God's sake, take care of your men. If they fire, you must die." Captain Preston responded "I am aware of it." When they reached Private White on the custom house stairs, the soldiers loaded their muskets, and arrayed themselves in a semicircular formation. Preston shouted at the crowd, estimated to number between three and four hundred, to disperse.
