I think The Boston Massacre was all the Colonists fault, even though they shot and killed 5 colonists they had their reasons to do it. I’m going to to you why I think it was the Colonists fault. Some reasons are the Colonists had already been getting in fights with the British soldiers that the Colonists started, they were throwing ice at the soldiers and that could be very painful and they were the ones who started the whole fight, maybe if the thought a little bit people wouldn’t have gotten shot.
One reason is the Colonists had already been getting in fights with the British soldiers that the Colonists started. They were constantly bullying the British soldier. Blaming them for their taxes, and other financial problems. The soldiers were just doing their jobs to support their family, and keep them alive with a home and food. That’s one reason why I think The Boston Massacre was the Colonists fault.
Another reason is they were throwing ice and snowballs, and that could be very painful it could cause a concussion, or even death. It’s not just a “fluffy little snowball” I could cause various medical issues. If an icicle fell of your roof and fell on you it could kill you, those snowballs aren’t so “fluffy” anymore. Plus if they didn’t keep the Colonists back with their bayonets they could of gotten hurt, and the money would be stolen. That’s another reason why I think The Boston Massacre was the Colonists fault.
My last reason is the Colonists wouldn’t have gotten shot if they didn’t start the whole fight. 5 people would still be alive, and it wouldn’t have been a “massacre” and if the soldiers just stood their they would have gotten taken down, it’s not okay to just do something like the Colonists did.That’s another reason why I think The Boston Massacre was the Colonists fault.
Those are some reasons why I think it was the Colonists fault. It wouldn’t have been a “Massacre if the didn’t start it. Good job Colonists on getting yourself killed.
