The Boston Massacre - Snow and Gunpowder - Extra History

# data[].attributes.headline
1)  I noticed that the Boston Massacre was very brutal because they shot and stabbed innocent people.  The picture shows how the men in red were overtaking the other people.                                        2)  The article is a newspaper article and is a secondary source because it is written from someone telling about what happened there.                                       3)  The article was created by newspaper reporters and printed in the Boston Gazette.   Paul Revere created the picture to go along with the article.                                            4)  The article was made in 1770 in Boston, Massachusetts.                       5)  It was created to inform the public on how innocent people were massacred and killed in cold blood

Wow! In this video, they tell you how the Boston Tea Party all started. I didn't know why the colonists were super angry about the tea tax until I watched this video. Anyway, I noticed the colonists really, REALLY like tea. Since Great Britain likes tea, the colonists started drinking it and really loved it. The British knew that they adored tea so they started taxing the colonists! So unfair!!!!! I also watched Liberty Kids- The Boston Tea Party. It was so cool seeing the kids literally in the Boston Tea Party watching all of the action! That would be super cool! I noticed in Liberty Kids that in the Son's of Liberty Meeting they were yelling about how unfair it was to be taxed without electing any representatives for Parliament! If I were them, I would want revenge too! Anyway, enjoy my video!

I noticed that the colonists are really furious with the British taxes. For example, they dumped 342 chests in the Boston Harbor! Also, 342 chests of tea is 90,000 pounds of tea! That's around 1 million dollars of tea! Wow!

I noticed that the colonists called the British soldiers "Red Coats." I also noticed how they all dressed differently from us today and spoke in a more proper words.

This article explains the history and symbolism of Benjamin Franklin's Join or Die Woodcut.

Join, or Die

What was the Join, or Die Symbol?

Join, or Die was a political cartoon and woodcut created by Benjamin Franklin in 1754. It was designed to unite the American colonies against the French and their Native allies at the start of the French and Indian War. It is thought to be the first political cartoon that advocated unification of the colonies. It is believed that Franklin did not actually create the image of the snake cut into pieces, but the actual artist is unknown.

Why the Snake?

The symbolism of a snake may have represented regeneration or renewal, since snakes shed their skins, or, may have drawn upon a legend of the time, which suggested that a snake that was cut into pieces could come back to life if its parts were assembled before sunset.

What was its Purpose?

Franklin's Join, or, Die shows a snake cut into eight sections. Atop each section is a label representing the initials of a colony or group of colonies. Interestingly, the New England colonies of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut are grouped together in one section labeled "N.E." Georgia and Delaware are absent from the woodcut. Some historians have theorized that Franklin included initials rather than the actual names of the colonies because many people of the time could not read. The design first appeared in an editorial by Benjamin Franklin for the Pennsylvania Gazette, on May 9, 1754, in which he urged colonial consensus on the decision to fight the French and their Native allies for control of the Ohio River Valley and lands to the west. He also argued for British support of a unified colonial government. Franklin's symbol, however, failed to have the intended effect in England, as British politicians likely saw the formation of colonial governments as a threat to their control.

A Symbol of Rage

Although Join, or Die was meant for the French and Indian War, it became a powerful symbol in colonial opposition to the Stamp Act, and other British taxes that ultimately led to the Revolutionary War. It remains one of the iconic images representing colonial sentiment toward the British.

2. it is a primary source document.

3. It began as a street brawl between American colonists and a lone British soldier.

4. the Boston Massacre occurred on March 5, 1770,

5. it happened because the patriots were actually a drunken mob that were picking for a fight.

One thing I noticed was that the soldiers appear to be shooting at the colonists who are innocent.  The type of document is an engraving, or visual representation of the event.  Paul Revere created it.  It was made in 1770 in Boston.  It was created to convince other colonists that the British soldiers murdered innocent people.
