“Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can. Spins a web, any size, catches thieves, just like flies. Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man”.

What happened on March 6th, 1770, is something that never is wished to happened. Some might think the deaths of the five men that night was a murder, others a terrible accident, maybe self defense. This unfortunate event, the Boston Massacre, left Patrick Carr, Samuel Maverick, Crispus Attucks, Samuel Gray, and James Cardwell dead. Were they in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or were they tormenting the soldiers? The colonists were shouting cruel and horrifying threats. According to Captain…
