The Boston Massacre

What happened during The Boston Massacre
The Boston Massacre was a street fight that occurred on March 5, 1770, between a "patriot" mob, throwing snowballs, stones and sticks at a squad of British soldiers.There were five people dead during the fight of the Boston Massacre. Many people thought that Crispus Attucks was the first person to get killed during the battle. The picture of the Boston Massacre was created by Paul Revere who named it 'The Bloody Massacre'.
Letter from Aahil
Dear Paul Revere,
I would like to say that your painting on Boston Massacre was very beautiful. I was there when the fight was going on, it was so depressing to see that five people were killed, I felt really bad for them. It was a very tough battle. But I also got to know that the first person who got killed during the battle was Crispus Attucks. While the British tried to kill a lot of people, some of them also escaped the battle alive, which was the only thing I was happy about. I hope that you like my report.
Regards
Aahil
