Answer:

D-He lived for some time after the Boston Massacre and spoke to his doctor about what he saw.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the night of the shooting, he heard the sound of the bell on the street and decided to go outside. He knew that the trouble had something to do with the British – his neighbor persuaded him to leave behind a small cutlass before he headed to King Street. When the shooting erupted, he was wounded while crossing the street with his friend.

For Carr, shot through his abdomen, death was inevitable. He was carried to his master’s house and was tended by Doctor Jeffries. It took him four days to die, but he refused to lay the blame for his agonizing death upon the soldiers. According to the Doctor’s testimony during the trial, Carr told him that he thought that the soldiers would have fired long before. Were the soldiers greatly abused? Yes, they were. Would they have been hurt if they had not fired? Yes. So they fired in self-defense? Yes, and he did not blame whoever hit him.
