I think that the Boston Massacre was the harshest act. I think one of the reasons for this is because during the massacre five colonists were killed. I also think it was the harshest because the British had guns and the colonists had nothing to defend themselves with. I think that the acts after the Boston Massacre were so harsh because of the massacre. I think this because after the massacre the colonists and the British had a big argument about the massacre and the British said their was a mistake about the shootings and that it was not fair that the colonists tried to defend themselves with snowballs and sticks. So mainly, I thought it wasn’t fair that the British were so harsh afterwards, because they didn’t think the way the colonists defended themselves was fair. I think the way the British reacted to the massacre was silly!
