The Boston Massacre was a street fight that occurred on March 5, 1770, between a "patriot" mob, throwing snowballs, stones, and sticks, and a squad of British soldiers. Several colonists were killed and this led to a campaign by speech-writers to rouse the ire of the citizenry.
In the Boston massacre British soldiers shot and killed mob members. It started when the mob was stowing snowballs and sticks and them. They shouted at the soldiers and dared them to fire. Then when one of the soldiers accidentally fired their gun the rest followed and a massacre occurred. Three colonists died during it.
The impact of America's wars on industrial production has varied dramatically, depending on the particular war and the stage of industrial development.
