The Boston Massacre was a skirmish on March 5, 1770, between British troops and a crowd in Boston. After provocation (throwing snow/ice balls) by the colonists, British soldiers fired on the mob and killed five men. This event contributed to the unpopularity of the British in the years leading up to the American Revolution.
On Mar 5th 1770 in Boston a troop of British soldiers was forced to defend itself against a rioting mob in Boston, Massachusetts, on what is now State Street near what is now the Old State House. Three of the crowd were killed and two died later of wounds. The Propaganda machine swung into action and labelled the event a massacre.
It began on State Street (known as King Street back then) in the evening of March 5, 1770 and ended in front of what is now the balcony at the Old State House, but was then a narrow alley. The site is marked by a group of radiating cobblestone circles with a central star and is a stop on the Freedom Trail.
