The Boston Massacre

           The Boston Massacre was an incident on March 5, 1770. In which, the British army shot and killed five bystanders and injured six more. This happened because colonists formed a mob that threw rocks and yelled threats against the British military. Since the British army fired at the civilians without orders, the Boston Massacre became a drive for the colonists to revolt against the British. Paul Revere and Samuel Adams became the main leaders that lead the revolt, that eventually led to the American Revolution.  

             The Boston Massacre was the best-worst thing that could happen. In my opinion, the colonists deserved what happened, they were yelling threats against the people who protect them everyday. I feel sorry for the families that lost their loved ones in the massacre, even though they got themselves shot. I seen one of the victim's wife burying her husband today, my heart was broken for her, she couldn't control her husband's irresponsible behavior. Two of the soldiers were sentenced to death because of shooting at the colonists without orders from the general. As I walked across the street today, I seen more colonists revolting because of the incident. I'm afraid if the colonists don't stop, that we'll be in another war.
