First you have to understand what happened in March 5, 1770 a British soldier got in an argument with a colonist then the soldier struck him, people started to gather and then yell at the soldier call him names and then they started taunting him then other soldiers started shotting people in the crowd instantly 3 people died including a salior Crispus Attucks then two days later 2 more people die.
