Boston Massacre

The Boston Massacre was the killing of five colonists by British regulars on March 5, 1770. It was the culmination of tensions in the American colonies that had been growing since Royal troops first appeared in Massachusetts in October 1768 to enforce the heavy tax burden imposed by the Townshend Acts.
The Boston Massacre was a street fight that occurred on March 5, 1770, between a "patriot" mob, throwing snowballs, stones, and sticks, and a squad of British soldiers. Several colonists were killed.
The presence of British troops in the city of Boston was increasing but they wre not welcome.The problem began when about 50 citizens attacked a British part. A British officer, Captain Thomas Preston, called in additional soldiers, and these too were attacked, so the soldiers attack into the mob, killing 3 on the spot.
A town meeting was called demanding the removal of the British and the trial of Captain Preston and his men for murder. At the trial, John Adams and Josiah Quincy II defended the British, leading to their life and release. Samuel Quincy and Robert Treat Paine were the attorneys for the persecution. Later, two of the British soldiers were found guilty.

The Boston Massacre was a signal event leading to the Revolutionary War. It led directly to the Royal Governor avoiding  the occupying army from the town of Boston. It would soon bring the revolution to bring rebellion throughout the colonies.
