There are three sides to every story: One person’s side, the other person’s side, and the truth. This is no different for the Boston Massacre. The Boston Massacre took place in March 5, 1770 in the streets of Boston. Some people believe that the colonists were more responsible for the death of the 5 colonists.

Because they had been directly assaulted, the soldiers believed they had the right to retaliate against the colonists. After the order to fire, they fired into the crowd, killing Crispus…

In the wood carving by Paul Revere, I immediately noticed the dramatic scene on the left being carried out by the colonists. The apparent aggressor to the victims, is the British soldiers in red, towards the right. I believe Paul solely carved this to persuade loyalists to be revolutionaries, and to fight for a governmental change.

The Boston Massacre March 5, 1770, British soldiers fired upon a mob of rowdy crowd of colonists. This event, officially named the Boston Massacre, killed 5 colonists. The British soldiers not only fired without order, but fired without order on an unarmed crowd, unless you consider stones and snowballs ‘armed’.
