Document Analysis

This document will seek to analyze the city of Boston in the early 1770’s to explore the causes of extreme violent and rebellious actions of the American colonists to the British. It will also briefly discuss the life of Benjamin Franklin a great scientist politician and philosopher.

The visual image I chose for my analysis (The Boston Massacre) by Paul Revere shows the Bostonians rebelling against the Red Coats of Great Britain. The Boston Massacre was the result of a long disputed argument between the settlers and Great Britain on whether or not British troops should remain stationed in America. On the evening of March 5, 1770, a group which gathered at the Customs House began insulting a guard calling him various names, afterwards a captain and seven guards came to his aid only to also be insulted and showered with snowballs and stones. Out of fear the soldiers began to discharge their weapons wounding six and killing five. After fleeing to their barracks they were hunted down by hundreds of Boston citizens wanting revenge. In response to the Boston Massacre Thomas Hutchinson gave the order for all British troops to leave Boston.
