Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The colonists were NOT justified in their actions at the Boston Massacre. The colonists lost five lives for no reason. The Boston Massacre wasn’t even a massacre and the colonists didn’t do anything to get killed to begin with. I mean, the colonists did make fun of the Redcoats because they didn’t want the Redcoats around, but they didn’t deserve to die for that reason.

In A History of the US, it says “The mob is said to have taunted the Redcoats, yelling “Fire! Fire!”  Captain Preston was said to have told them to hold their fire.” The colonists got killed because they were being troublemakers. They got worse than they deserved.  

To conclude, the colonists weren’t justified in their actions at the Boston Massacre, they were treated badly.

You may need to add more but that's what I know.

1. The opposing forces are Rev. Buckminster and his son Turner Buckminster.

2. It is a man vs man/ individual vs. individual/ person vs person conflict.

3. The conflict is related to the setting for the story happens during the racist prejudice era.

<h3>How, explain your answer briefly?</h3>

The conflict in a narrative story is the contrast in the forces or elements in play. These opposing forces try to suppress each other, further forwarding the plot.

The conflict in the passage from the story "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy" by Gary D. Schmidt is between Turner Buckminster and his father Rev, Buckminster. The Rev. does not like his son hanging around with people such as Lizzie, who are of a colored section. The setting of the story being during the racism, Turner had been prevented by his father to stay away from the colored people. But rather than doing what he's told, he began to hang around more and more with Lizzie. Thus, the opposing forces of the conflict are the father and son.

The type of conflict is man vs. man or individual/ person vs. individual/person. This type of conflict happens when a man or an individual have conflicting interests from another individual.

The conflict in this scene is related to the setting for the interests of the two individuals are different from each other. Since the theme of racial discrimination is prevalent in the story, the conflict in the two individuals' beliefs also led to the further advancement of the story.

Thus, his could be the answer.
