I had to write an essay on it today, and I was wondering what you thought about it. I personally believe it was the colonists fault, there were 300-400 people in a mob, they struck down a soldier, and were yelling "fire", which confused the soldier who got knocked down and he thought it was a command, not a taunt. What do you think?

I have my essay done, it was on a test I took. It was really easy to write because he let us use our notebooks with all the info in it.

I mean just between those troops and the mob of colonists, not the countries. I believe that through passive abuse(ignoring the colonies) and then trying to take back control the colonies needed to separate, but this was just between the soldiers doing their job and Garrick making a scene and forming a mob.

Any time armed enforcers are used to supress a gathering of dissidents, there is a high probability that the weapons will be used. The immediate cause is probably as you described, but ultimately the cause was the refusal of the English overlords to recognize that the local inhabitants had any legitimate complaints, and sought to supress those complaints with force.

I doubt if any severe conservative is blaming the attack on relatives guy, or the You Tube introduction consistent with it. based on liberals blaming the hearth in West on King Of The Hill. an enhanced question could be have been you complaining while the Obama administration blamed the Benghazi attack on a you tube video?

I guess Americans were blamed for everything that was wrong back then as they are today.
