Question

if you were to describe the boston massacre if you were an actual witness of it (either bystander, soldier, or colonist) what would your account of the events be? how would your family react to the whole situation in general?

Answer 1

In the perspective of a colonist who witnessed the Boston Massacre, as long as I wasn’t a loyalist I would account the night as the soldiers fried onto incident people who were causing no harm to that of the soldiers and they were too trigger happy which shoots were fried only because someone threw a snow ball. My family would react to the situation in fear due to the fact that this could mean war because the colonist and England were on very thin ice.
