British soldier would not like the boston massacre, because in reality it was not the British's fault. The fight had begun when colonials threw rocks and sonwballs at soldiers. The soldiers got frightened, and a few shot at the americans. Crispus Attucks was the first to die and considered to be the first casualty of the American Revolution. But that's not the point. Because the Americans had started the fight, a british man would be enraged that the Americans portrayed it as a massacre, especially since only 8 people died. i personally wass very mad that the Americans made the Birtish look evil and bad.

Think of what Richard Nixon said about the Kent State killings of 1970. A British soldier may have had the same opinion. (Of course, some British soldiers may have been more compassionate and more regretful than Nixon.)
Go to Wikipedia.org and look up Kent State shootings and Boston Massacre.
