Today in class... American History Continued

Today in class we continued the notes we were taking last class on American Histoy. Today we focused on the Boston Massacre which sounds a lot harsher than it was. So basically what happened was this drunk colonist started to aggravate a lone soldier that was minding his own business. Then more soldiers came and along with more soldiers came more colonists. Like A LOT more colonists. These soldiers were way out numbered them only having seven and the colonists having over a hundred. The colonists started to throw ice and were screaming at the soldiers and in all the chaos a shot went off. After the one shot then another, and another. There was a lot of controversy in our class on which side to back up but I personally side with the soldiers because they were basically in a life or death situation and were defending themselves as any of us would in that situation.
