The Boston Massacre was an event that took place on March 5, 1770 where British Armed Troops opened fire on a small mob of Boston citizens who were crowding around the soldiers and threatening them. The soldiers killed five citizens. And the Sons of liberty wanted to make the British look bad so they named it the Boston Massacre.
