Violence Erupts in Boston

England sended 400 troops to Boston because they needed to control the rights and because there was being to much violence.

There was a Massacre called the Boston Massacre. How did this started? Well, in March 1770 there was a bunch of people protesting. One of them threw snowballs and rocks to the soldiers and the soldiers thought they were being attacked so they fired back and killed 5 colonists. One of the colonists killed was called Crispus Attuck.

Patriots were lead by Samuel Addams. He created a Comettee of Corresponding that was like a mail. Comettees provided leadership.
