Who is responsible for the Boston Massacre? (The Colonist? The British Soldiers? Neither? Both?) Be sure to read over the rubric!

Here are two stories about an event that took place in Boston on March 5, 1770. The British called it a riot, blaming the American colonists. The American colonists called it a massacre, blaming the British soldiers. As you read the two stories, see if you can decide what really happened.

The first view of the Boston incident is from a letter written on April 10, 1770 by General Thomas Gage, the top commander of the British troops in America.
The British troops were immediately attacked. Some of the colonists threw bricks, stones, and pieces of ice and snowballs at them. Other colonists, who were shouting and swearing, came up to the tip of the soldiers’ bayonets and dared them to fire.
The British officer, Captain Preston, who was standing between the mob of colonists and his soldiers, tried to persuade the colonists to go home without a fight. When the colonists asked him if he intended to order his men to fire, he replied. “Certainly not”. The whole time this was going on he stood between his troops and the colonists. No matter what Captain Preston said he could not get the colonists to leave. After a few minutes one of the British soldiers received a violent blow and instantly fired his gun. When Captain Preston turned around to see who had fired, one of the colonists tried to hit Preston on the head, but hit his arm instead. The colonists, who realized no one had been hurt, thought the soldiers had only used blanks to scare them. Thus the colonists grew braver and attacked the soldiers with greater violence. Now the soldiers thought their lives were in danger. They kept hearing fire all around them so three or four of the soldiers fired one after the other and then three more, who were also confused as to what was happening, fired. Four or five colonists were unfortunately killed and more were wounded.
