I can't really see the answers you've provided if you did but, i wrote an essay kind of thing on captain thomas preston's account of the boston massacre here are some parts of it.

the source was created on 1770, considered a primary source, it was written because he wanted to prove his innocence to the jurors. the author's purpose was so because the daughters of the revolution wanted to re-open the case. according to his source the soldiers started the boston massacre they started to fire without order, and that the mob yelled fire, meaning an actual fire.

plus from what I've written, i personally believe the colonists started the boston massacre because, as stated by Captain Thomas a First-hand account, they started taunting them and throwing snowballs along with other objects because they did not want the British regulars in their town. The commending officer ordered his men to fix their bayonets and join the guard outside the building which they were having a meeting in, after the colonists attacked the soldiers one rifle shot into the crowd to the other soldiers began firing moments later. Five colonists were dead three more were injured while the british soldiers were put on trail only two were found guilty of man slaughter and their thumbs were branded with an ‘M’ for murder as punishment. I believe this could have been prevented if the soldiers were not outside fixing their guns at that time. And had the British parliament had not taken over american taxation measures in boston, the british should’ve stayed over in britian.

What issue was standing the way of the U.S. to gaining the territory in the Northwest?

goldenfox [79]

The British victory in the Seven Years’ War was confirmed in the Treaty of Paris in 1763, in which, among many other things, the French surrendered their claim to the Old Northwest. Later, during the War for Independence, American interests in the area were advanced by the military exploits of George Rogers Clark. Control of the area passed from Britain to the new United States in the Treaty of Paris of 1783. I hope this helped you!...
