Answer 1

D / John Adams was criticized for defending the British soldiers who were involved

Step-by-step explanation:

John Adams believed that if one day colonial America was to be its own nation it had to show people they were not just some uneducated farmers on another continent. This is why he believed they deserved a fair trial, but make no mistake John Adams considered himself to be a patriot and wanted freedom from the British just as much as any of the other 'Founding Fathers'
