Answer:

SORRY ITS A LONG ANSWER!!!

Explanation:

opened fire upon a unruly crowd of Boston citizens. Five Bostonians died and eleven more were wounded. This event came to be popularly referred to as the Boston Massacre and was memorialized for years afterward on this date.

The tradition continues tomorrow when a number of events are taking place at the Old State House including a reenactment of the actual "massacre". The reenactment starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Old State House at the head of State St.(formerly known as King St.). J.L. Bell does his usual excellent job and gives a fuller account of the days events in his blog Boston 1775.

The British soldiers and their officer were placed on trial for the "murder of Crispus Attucks, Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, and Patrick Carr". They were defended in part by John Adams of Braintree, who became an ardent supporter of American independence and a future U.S. President. The soldiers were acquitted of all charges, except two soldiers who were found guilty of manslaughter. They were branded with the letter "m" on their thumbs and released.

The Brattle Book Shop on 9 West St. in Boston, interestingly enough, has a copy of the account of the trial for sale in their rare book section

What are some of the things the United States has done to fight terrorism since 9/11? Be specific and give examples.
Mars2501 [29]
We increased security after 9/11, in airports, schools etc. As and example, your luggage has to be much lighter than it was before 9/11.

I think we should have a specific group that checks everyone's history and record if they have one, before they enter the plain, my example is 9/11, if they would have done that they would have known that they were not American residents and the bendanes they wore was a cult.

They commit acts of terrorism believing that killing themselves and you that they are going to heaven. And I think they should be 1. wiped off the planet, for the simple fact that they will never change so we have to try to get rid of them, or 2. lock up everyone of them we can in a supermax prison so they can never see daylight again.

I hope this helps!

IgorLugansk [536]
It was a secret military project created in 1942 to produce the first US nuclear weapon. The US feared that a German atomic bomb project would develop one first, and so they made the development of an atomic bomb a possibility. Basically it was a defense mechanism again Germany in case they decided to follow through with the plan to make an atomic bomb
