Rachel,+Boston+Massacre

On the night of March 7,1770 the tragedy of the Boston Massacre happend. As British soilders patroled the streets a crowed of people gatherd together and started to riot. I joined in with them. We threw things and yelled insults at them. All of a sudden we heard a gun shot. I was never sure of which side was resposible. After that the British began to shoot at us. The man next to me fell. In the following days we learned a total of five people died from the incident and some of the others were wounded. The British soilders were tried for killing the people in the crowed. They were deffended by John Adams who was able to save six of soilders. The others were still punished but were given an easier sentence.
