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, <span>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. </span>

The condition of the roads in the late 1700's were poor. They were in a bad state, but it didn't quite matter because no one used them except via horses, etc. The automobile wasn't invented until 1900's.
