Boston Massacre

Main Points of the Boston Massacre:

•  On March 5, 1768, 1,000 British soldiers arrived in Boston under the command of General Thomas Gage.

• The Boston Massacre was a killing of five colonists when they were unarmed.

                                     

• They were not supposed to fire, but when one of the British fired, it created a violent killing. 

Conclusion:  This could have easily been avoided, by not shooting and remaining non-violent. This increased the tension between the English and colonists, and was definitely a fail of the British.
