How Important Was The Boston Massacre

Although there were many important topics covered throughout Chapter 7, I thought the most important was the Boston Massacre, and it has left a long lasting impression on history in America. On March 5, 1770, the redcoats began to be tormented by about sixty towns-people. Outnumbering a group of redcoats six to one, they threw snowballs, sticks, and stones at them, angry that an eleven-year-old boy had been shot during a protest ten days later. As a result to the towns-people's protest, the troops had to open fire, hurting or killing eleven people. The Boston Massacre caused many more fights and protests to break out around Boston, and the urge to be free from British rule.

The Boston Massacre is an event that most American's have heard about
or can even tell you what happened on the night of March fifth 1770. The Boston Massacre made it apparent that the relationship between the colonists and British troops needed to be fixed or separation was necessary. The Boston Massacre also played a role in leading to the American Revolution. I really enjoyed learning about the Boston Massacre. Although I learned about this event in American History two years ago, it was nice to think back on everything that happened and its significance. Chapter seven was very interesting and full of important events and people.
