With tensions between the colonial townspeople and the higher class British soldiers sparking conflicts‚ the Boston Massacre was sure to happen at one point. As the most famous story goes‚ colonists threw snowballs at the soldiers‚ called them nasty names‚ and dared them to fire their bayonets. The Redcoats responded as so by readying their weapons and shooting bullets into the crowd. Five people were killed in this incident‚ including Crispus Attucks (the only African American that was killed.)

The testimony of Daniel Calef decreases the unlikelihood of snowfall that night because he talks of seeing the captain’s
