The Boston Massacre Alyssa Ladd Although many historians believe that the Boston Massacre was an act of murder‚ it is clear that the incident was an act of self-defense. First reason why it was self-defense‚ is that the colonist Crispus Attucks was holding a cordwood stick and swung it at James Bailey. James Bailey then shot Crispus Attucks.
