March 5, 1770, there was 5 colonist who got shot to death by British soldiers. There was a conflict between American Colonist and the British soldiers, Late in the afternoon on march 5th, people started screaming and yelling, snowballs got shot at other people. The first person who was hit when the British soldiers began firing was an African American sailor named Crispus Attucks. Evidently the information shown is that he escaped from slavery in 1750 and for the next 20 years he worked on whaling ships. The Boston Massacre helped spark the colonist for the desire of American Independence.
