Detailed explanation-1: -No one died during the Boston Tea Party. There was no violence and no confrontation between the Patriots, the Tories and the British soldiers garrisoned in Boston.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Sons of Liberty organized a continuous watch of the vessels. Twenty-five men on each shift ensured that the ships were not unloaded under the cover of darkness, or at least to sound an alarm if there was an attempt. The ships’ captains came ashore and left the mates on board.
Detailed explanation-3: -Crispus Attucks, a sailor of mixed African and Indigenous ancestry, died in Boston on March 5, 1770 after British soldiers fired two musket balls into his chest.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
