Question

What was the main cause of the Boston Massacre? 1. British troops were being sent out of Boston. 2. Colonists wanted to break free of British rule. 3. Bostonians were angered by the British troops that were housed in their city.

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

There were a lot of English soldiers housed in Boston at this time. One day a ton of colonists began to harass and frighten the soldiers, so one of them shot in fear and then all the other soldiers shot too. The most specific answer to this question would be 3. Bostonians were angered by the British troops that were housed in their city as that is why the colonists were getting angry at the soldiers.

Have a wonderful day! :D
