Introduction

The Boston Massacre was an event that occurred on March 5, 1770 in Boston, resulting in the deaths of 5 civilians at the hands of the British army. The aftermath of this event sparked rebellion in the British North American colonies and ultimately led to the American Revolution. The tense situation between soldiers and civilians in Boston, due to a large military presence by the British, led to a mob attacking the troops, resulting in the use of muskets by the soldiers. Three civilians were killed on the spot, 11 were injured, and two died afterwards.
