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.

Here is another story of the Boston incident. It was written by a colonist and printed in a Boston newspaper on March 12, 1770.

Thirty or forty persons, mostly young boys, had gathered in King Street. British officer, Captain Preston, and his soldiers came through the crowd to get to the Commissioner's house. As they came through they were using their bayonets and crying, “Make way”. Once they took their place by the Commissioner’s house and the Custom House, they continued to push to drive off the people and even pricked some of the people with their bayonets. After a while the crowd began to throw snowballs at the soldiers. When that happened Captain Preston said, “Fire, and whatever happens, will happen.” One soldier then fired. A townsman hit the soldier’s hand with a stick so he would drop his gun. His same person then rushed forward and tried to hit the Captain in the head. The blow only touched the Captain’s hat and then landed on his arm. Still the soldiers continued to fire until seven or eight or, as some say, eleven guns were fired.

By this fatal firing three men died instantly and two more are now struggling to survive.
