What are some facts about the Boston massacre from the British soldiers side?
The firing was an accident. The British soldiers were being accosted by a crowd of antagonistic colonists who were throwing snowballs and jeering the soldiers. They did not fire on the crowd till someone, no onw knows who, yelled “Fire.” The captain of the soldiers denied giving that order and there was some evidence that it might have come from the colonists. Samuel Adams made the most of the incident by calling it the Boston Massacre.
