Many biased people claim the British started the Boston Massacre because they were the first shoot a gun. Truth is, American colonists had planned a simple riot for weeks before through a group of patriots called The Son's of Liberty. They had decided they were done paying so many taxes. The Son's of Liberty had brought their weapons which included the following; clubs for making rope, snowballs, clams, shells, and stones, to the corner of Devonshire and State Street where they knew the red-coats would see them as trouble. Although The Son's of Liberty and others, including children, had planned a small riot and had brought weapons, I don't believe they wanted to have five innocent man to lose their life and have six others become injured. The Son's of Liberty began throwing their weapons and shouting "FIRE IF YOU DARE" and "FIRE! FIRE!" as if they were the British Troops' commander.  The Son's of Liberty were antagonizing the British and began imitating Captain Thomas Preston as if he was demanding his men to fire.  

Because the american colonists were teasing the British soldiers, the red coated British Soldiers fired thinking it was Captain Thomas Preston demanding and threatening them to fire. Private Hugh Montgomery fired first  into the crowd causing the others to wrongfully go along with it. The British fired after many soldiers had been struck with the clubs of colonists and were brutally injured. The shots had then become protection of the British and self defense.

The death of five men and injuries to six other colonists were the effect of colonists wanting revenge for . Samuel Gray was killed due to a bullet in his head, James Caldwell from two shots in his back, Crispus Attucks died from two shots in his chest. Samuel Maverick and Patrick Carr got mortally wounded by bullets which later on led them to suffering while on the verge of death.

Answer:

The rest of this section will be devoted to four types of fronts. Three of these fronts move and one is stationary. With cold fronts and warm fronts, the air mass at the leading edge of the front gives the front its name. In other words, a cold front is right at the leading edge of moving cold air and a warm front marks the leading edge of moving warm air.

When two air masses meet together, the boundary between the two is called a weather front. At a front, the two air masses have different densities, based on temperature, and do not easily mix. One air mass is lifted above the other, creating a low pressure zone. If the lifted air is moist, there will be condensation and precipitation. Winds are common at a front. The greater the temperature difference between the two air masses, the stronger the winds will be. Fronts are the main cause of stormy weather.

hope this helps lol :)

Would you characterize this removal as a “benevolent policy of the government”? Why or why not?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

When describing the forced removal of the Native Americans to lands west of the Mississippi River,  this removal was a “benevolent policy of the government.”  In order to answer this question, I will give you some ideas to consider as you develop your answer.

First, you need to consider how the Native Americans and the American people viewed these policies.  Generally, Native Americans resisted these policies that required them to relocate.  In some instances, they had signed agreements or treaties with the government
