What Caused the Boston Massacre? Jeffrey Sims  Fabius-Pompey Elementary  jsims@fabius.cnyric.org

On the evening of March 5, 1770, British soldiers opened fire on a crowd of colonists who were assembled outside the Customs house. Five died and nine were injured as a result of the musket fire.

Paul Revere’s famous print shows a well organized British army apparently firing on innocent colonists.
