The Boston Massacre was the result of the colonists' frustration with British policies after the French and Indian War ended in 1763. They disliked Parliament's active involvement, and hated the presence of British soldiers, who seemed to be policing the colonists.

My bed called for me. The long night along with the impromptu breakfast had me yearning for sleep. I took a long drink from a bottle of water and laid back on my rumpled blankets.
