Answer 1

The townspeople threw objects at the soldiers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Boston townspeople began to throw sticks, stone and snowball at the British troops who stationed in the city in 1770. The throwing of stick and stone towards the British soldiers led to the shooting at the colonists which led to the Boston Massacre. The Boston Massacre also created hostility among the Colonists towards Britishers and brought a cry for patriotism.
