Brief Overview:
I learned that the Boston Massacre was a tragic event that took place on the night of March 5, 1770. First, a British solider was being made fun of by a little boy. Then, a crowd gathered because the solider hit the boy in the back with his musket, British soliders lined up with captian Preston behind the lined up soliders.Finally, the British soliders shot into the crowd,when the smoke cleared three citizens were dead and two more dieing.

One thing I learned is that one night on March 5, 1770 (the night of The Boston Massacre) a British solider stand guard in front of the Customs House.A boy came by, he then started yelling insultes at the British solider. The British solider then hit the boy in the back with his musket, the boy ran away crying.The boy later came back with his freinds,they threw snowballs with broken pieces of ice and octers packed inside and yelled more insultes like "Lousy rascal!" and "Bloody-back!"

The Main Event:
Another thing I learned about the Boston Massacre is... A crowd of civilens gathered, and men ran through the streets yelling, "Town-born turn out!" Captian Preston yelled "Go home!" and "The sentry was just doing his job!" Still more insultes were thrown at the British soliders. A citizen then smashed a golf club on Captian Preston's arm, then a shot rang out.

but they kept firing into the crowd no one could stop them they eventuely stopped.When the smoke cleared a tragic sight could be seen three citizens were dead and two more on the ground dieing. What a tragic night
