As we were guarding the courthouse from the colonists they began to riot and become violent. We began to be forced to threaten in order to cease violence. However, the colonists would not stop throwing rocks and insults as they started to charge at us. It was at that moment we were told not to fire. We began to feel as if our lives were in danger so many of us decided that we would rather take the lives of these people than lose our own. That decision we made will go down in history as the Boston Massacre.

What do the characters of the wizard of oz represent in history

In the book, the Tin Man, Scarecrow and Dorothy all saw the Wizard quite differently. This symbolizes the cynicism that exists in politics due to the fact that politicians tend to change face with different people. hope it helps!
