Detailed explanation-1: -The other soldiers began firing a moment later, and when the smoke cleared, five colonists were dead or dying-Crispus Attucks, Patrick Carr, Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick and James Caldwell-and three more were injured.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why Did the Boston Massacre Happen? Tensions ran high in Boston in early 1770. More than 2, 000 British soldiers occupied the city of 16, 000 colonists and tried to enforce Britain’s tax laws, like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Twenty colonists were killed during the Boston Massacre. The Boston Massacre helped repeal the Townshend Acts. The committee of correspondence was a system of writing letters between the colonial governors and the king.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Boston Massacre was a street fight that occurred on March 5, 1770, between a “patriot” mob, throwing snowballs, stones, and sticks, and a squad of British soldiers. Several colonists were killed and this led to a campaign by speech-writers to rouse the ire of the citizenry.
