My First Research Report: The Boston Massacre

The Boston Massacre was on March 5,1770, in Boston Massachusetts. A boy insulted a British soldier. The soldier hit the boy with a stick. The boy then ran away. He came back with friends and started throwing stuff at the soldier. The soldier shot at the crowd and killed five men.

The name, The Boston Massacre, is not appropriate because not too many people died. In a massacre, you would expect a lot of people to die. England would have called it: Defense in Boston.
