Today in class, we were separated into groups and made a google presentation of a topic that we were given. My topic was the Boston Massacre. The Boston Massacre started when a group of 60 colonists started throwing snowballs at a British gaurd. The gaurd called for help, and accidentally, a few shots were fired. Although the commotion didn't last very long, it was a major turning point in the Patriot's realization that something needed to change about their government and Britain ruling them.
