The Boston Massacre
The Boston Massacre was one of the first massacres in the establish settlements. There is a question that long awaits an answer. Who started it all? Was it the soldier or was it the kids? I believe that the soldiers started it all. He shouldn’t have been swinging a sword around, they started shooting at innocent people, didn’t need guns to fix the problem.

In conclusion I believe that the soldiers had started this Boston Massacre. Overall this teaches a lesson that fake news can cause many
