EXAMPLE: BOSTON MASSACRE-

THE BOSTON MASSACRE OCCURRED MARCH 5, 1770, SIX YEARS BEFORE THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR; BUT IT WAS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE EVENTS THAT STEERED AMERICA IN THAT DIRECTION. COLONISTS WERE ENRAGED OVER TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION IN PARLIAMENT. THERE HAD BEEN ACTS COMING FROM BRITAIN, SUCH AS THE STAMP ACT AND THE TOWNSHEND ACTS; THERE WERE ALSO WRITS OF ASSISTANCE, WHICH ALLOWED ILLEGAL SEARCH OF COLONIAL SHIPS. THE AMERICAN COLONISTS WERE RESPONDING WITH TARRING AND FEATHERING, SO THE TAX COLLECTORS WERE IN DANGER. SOME BRITISH SOLDIERS WERE SENT TO GUARD THE TAX OFFICES IN THE COLONIES. BOSTONIANS WERE TAUNTING THE SOLDIERS, AND EVENTUALLY, SOLDIERS FIRED INTO THE CROWD, AND FIVE PEOPLE WERE KILLED. PAUL REVERE CREATED AN ENGRAVING DEPICTING THE EVENT TO BE A MASSACRE, AND COLONISTS WERE MORE CONVINCED THAT THE BRITISH WERE NOT TREATING THEM FAIRLY. DESPITE THE POPULAR OPINION ABOUT THE SOLDIERS, JOHN ADAMS STEPPED IN TO BE THEIR DEFENSE ATTORNEY. IN COURT, THE SOLDIERS WERE FOUND NOT GUILTY FOR THE MOST PART, PROVING THAT AMERICANS COULD BE FAIR AND JUST. STILL THE OUTCRY FROM BOSTON HAD IGNITED EVEN MORE OF A SPARK TOWARD REVOLUTION.
