Why Did The Boston Massacre Treated The Colonists?

On March 5, 1770, a group of brave colonists gathered around a British Soldier at a local tax office. They hurled insults at the soldier, and with the confusion that ranged gunshots were heard; Five men were found wounded on the ground. Although the Boston Massacre seemed to be the colonists' fault since they started off by hurling insults, we must remember how the British Soldiers treated the colonists before. For example, the Quartering Act forced families to have open their homes to British Soldiers in order to shelter and feed them. Nevertheless, the news about the Boston Massacre spread quickly throughout the colonies.; Many of the colonists were shocked and angered by the news. Colonists continued to boycott, riot, and rebel against the
laws of the Parliaments. In addition, they started their own militias to fight against the British Soldiers. The Parliament were shocked as well by the news of the five dead. They arrested the soldiers in order to keep the colonists happy. However, this wouldn’t work. After the Boston Massacre on April 19, 1775, The Battles of Lexington and Concord took place. The Parliament ordered the British Soldiers to march to Lexington to confiscate the weapons and arms of the militias. However, the militia in Lexington was prepared and fired against the soldiers. Nevertheless, the militia didn’t have as much training and experience as the soldiers, which lead them to be defeated. However, the news of the battle traveled quickly around the colonies and Concord. As the Soldiers marched to Concord, the militia fired and them. In the end, the colonists were defeated in the Battle of Lexington but took the victory in the Battle of Concord.; These battles were the engagement of the Revolutionary War. Colonists were happy and finally realized that they could fight against the British Soldiers. The British were left angry and unhappy.
