Answer 1

Your Answer:

3.) Samuel Adams uses propaganda about the event to gain colonial support for the Patriots in their fight against the British.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samuel Adams and other Sons of Liberty capitalized on this event to gain support against the British. They called this event a massacre. (I saved an image that was from FLVS to show what Samuel Adams used as his propaganda; I know, it's pretty depressing...)

Answer 2

Correct answer choice is :

C) Samuel Adams uses propaganda about the event to gain colonial support for the Patriots in their fight against the British.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Boston Massacre was a bloody protest that happened on March 5, 1770, on King Street in Boston. It started as a street fight between American colonials and a lone British soldier but immediately increased to a confused, bloody slaughter. The dispute strengthened anti-Britain thought and covered the way for the American Revolution.
