Question

“A soldier hit him in the face with the butt of a gun.” If the Rebels are supposed to be the “good guys,” why are they being so harsh?

Answer 1

Answer:

These people were not rebels.

Explanation:

This happened because Edward Garret had insulted the British Soldier and in return was hit with the butt of the gun. Also this took place on March 5th of 1570.  The war started and 4 people died with one dying later on. All were caused from gunshot wounds and others were injured. One man was shot and instantly died. This man was Crispus Attucks.  The other people that had died were Crispus Attucks, Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, Patrick Carr, and James Caldwell. They all died because Edward Garret had insulted the officer and then shot were fired towards the men until they fled.

Also in modern day military soldiers are "Harsh" because they were trained to be and they depend on the military to take care of their families. Plus they were sworn in and cannot break their vow. They swear to protect their country even if it costs their own life. They are to show no mercy to anyone and are to obey orders with out question.
