This source is an example of biased propaganda in favor of the Patriots. This is because it shows their side of the Boston Massacre in order to create sympathy for their cause. For example, the document reads, "... Like fierce Barbarians grinning o'er their Prey, Approve the Carnage, and enjoy the Day" This line serves to describe the British soldiers during the massacre describing them as barbarians who viewed the innocent colonists as prey, going as far as to say the soldiers enjoyed the event and murder of the colonists.…
The Boston Massacre was a huge riot in Boston, Massachusetts due to resentment of Boston colonists toward British troops quartered in the city, in which the troops fired on the mob and killed five colonists.

I believe that the Boston Massacre was a accident and that it was not meant to happen. One reason i think the boston massacre was an accident is because the colonist were yelling “fire, fire” and by that some of the colonist thought that there captain had said fire and that's why they fired at the colonist. The second reason i thought that the boston massacre was an accident was because when the colonist started throwing clubs and snowballs they hit the soldiers and the soldiers seen that as a sign to fire their guns.

Since the colonist didn't think that the british would fire they started throwing snow balls and clubs and poking sticks at the guns.…

The ‘Boston massacre’ was more of a tragedy or self defence by the British soldiers in a way that the colonist brought murder to their own people. Although we know this event for a bloodbath caused by british soldiers, there is enough evidence to prove it was not their wrong. If the colonist were not throwing snowballs or insulting the soldiers we would not have this date as a major event in history. As the crowd grew bigger it caused the British soldiers to panic. The red coats were innocent, and would have been at fault in any way they would have handled the situation; either by the court or their captain.…
