DOCUMENT REFLECTION UNIT TWO: THE BOSTON MASSACRE

What I learned while reading this article was that the Americans were really being treated badly by the British. I read in the American history book that the Boston Massacre was started by little boys throwing snowballs at the British soldiers. Then in this article its like the soldiers just started shooting innocent people that were just standing around. It really doesn't matter which reason it was because they still didn't have a reason to hurt and put innocent people in danger. What surprised me most about the situation was that the British didn't have any remorse about what they did. I can't believe that some people could be so heartless and think about no one other than themselves.

Yes, the colonists had many reasons to break from the British. The stationing of troops around the colonies was just asking for trouble. Well written. 30/30 points.
