I think that the colonists would be mad because the British soldiers killed a lot of colonists and they have to be punished or it won’t be fair.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they would have done protests, or boycott or something because the people that dies were all colonists and they need justice. And it wouldn't be fair for the colonists at all that is like letting criminals get away from their mistakes. Killing someone is a serious deal and they definitely have to be punished for it.

# data[].attributes.body
It was important for everyone to come who were related to this event in any way because people dying is a serious matter and it is not something play about. And the only way thy can find out the truth is by questioning everyone and then only they can give justice to the ones who had dies.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because they need stories from both sides, so they can figure who started the Boston Massacre.

# data[].attributes.body
They would've been enraged. Even though they didn't get what they want which as justice served for all soldiers, having all of the soldiers be acquitted would've been even worse.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they would act in a way that was a protest and the contry would never be the same.

# data[].attributes.body
The colonists would have felt angry because they lost 5 of their people and the soldiers weren't even punished. They probably would have rioted and protested even more.

# data[].attributes.body
It was important for them to go on trial because people died and they felt that justice needed to be served on the soldiers. Also because people needed to know the truth and be able to know who was guilty

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was important that the soldiers were on trial because they also witness the massacre so they should also be their.

# data[].attributes.body
The reson why it was good for them to go to trail so this would not happen again and so the people that did a murder were in jail.

# data[].attributes.body
Now I think that it is murder still because the event was named the Boston Massacre, and they probably named it that specifically because of what happened which is   people killing each other at a place. Like the painting shows people dying and getting shot. And the different perspectives show what some people saw at the Massacre. People wouldn’t use snowballs that have rocks and oysters in them just for self-defense. They planned to use it for murder.

# data[].attributes.body
Now I still think that this whole Boston Massacre event is about murders and people killing each other because when we did the slideshow with my group, after reading all the evidences and all the little clues we all thought that this was an act of murder. And it had nothing to do with self defense. Because all the clues and evidences are proving to us that this was a murder and they wanted to kill these people.

# data[].attributes.body
It was important to show the colonists that the soldiers were receiving a fair trial with a unbiased attorney who was also a colonist.

# data[].attributes.body
They would have been reeally mad because now future soldiers will think they can countinue to kill colonist without punishment

# data[].attributes.body
The video explains what propaganda means and how so many people that witness the mascara.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they would protest their rights because they were obviously wrong in some way and so were the colonists but in order to be fair people have to experience consequences

# data[].attributes.body
The American colonists weren't very happy that most soldiers were acquitted, however if all had been, there would have been rioting for justice.

# data[].attributes.body
Because everyone deserves a fair trail.

# data[].attributes.body
There would have been a lot more backlash against everyone involved in the case, this avoided that to some extent. The colonists would have been a lot more angry, if no-one was punished for the death of these colonists.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it was important that they were tried where the event happened to ensure that anyone at the event who could have seen what happened would testify. They needed a good lawyer as well, so John Adams filled this spot.

# data[].attributes.body
First I thought that the Boston Massacre was a murder, like people are just killing their enemies. The word massacre is defined as killing people like man-slaughter.

# data[].attributes.body
because they needed both sides of the story if they had just the colonists side they would obviously side with them because that's all they heard. For example if you and you sibling got into a fight and you told your parents they only heard you side and they need to hear you siblings side to actually know what happened.

# data[].attributes.body
First I thought that the Boston Massacre was something about murders and people killing each other. Because the word Massacre usually means that there was or is an act of murder or killing someone.

# data[].attributes.body
Now based on the picture it shows capt. preston waving ad giving orders for he soldiers to fire. If it was anyone fault it was the captain's fault for giving the orders to fire.

# data[].attributes.headline
I think they would've reacted with a riot of some sort because they wanted to get a point across and when the more polite option didn't work they had to use force.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I think it is, because to have a fair court you have to limit bias against the soldiers and also, this way there would be less backlash from colonists.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Boston Massacre was an act of self defence by the British soldiers, because the colonist were throwing rocks covered in snow at them, so they weren't going to let the colonist just keep throwing these rocks at them so they shooted them but ts self defence.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the way the colonists would've reacted is that they would riot a lot more. This could not stabilize the economy and other things. This also wouldn't be fair to the colonists.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this would have been important since  it could ruin there reputation and possibly get them jailed for life when they might have just been trying to defend themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the massacre was fair, The soldiers were way overpowered. The colonist were throwing snowballs with oyster shells and rocks at the soldier eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was important for the British Soldiers to go on trial in Boston and be represented by John Adams for the Boston Massacre deaths because John Adams was unbiased. It probably took place in Boston because that's where the massacre happened.

# data[].attributes.body
Now I think that it is self denfence base on the people throwing snow balls with rocks in it and could hurt the soilders so they shoot them in denfence.

# data[].attributes.body
Now I think that only 5 people were killed because based on the reading we did 5 people were killed.

# data[].attributes.body
Now I think that the soldiers shot in self-defense based on all the clues in the slideshow. The colonists were throwing rocks and clubs at them and weren't backing off and there was a lot of confusion. The soldiers fired to save their own lives and it wasn't intentional at all.

# data[].attributes.body
Now I think that they actually killed the 5 protesters in self defense because there are witnesses such as Newton Prince that back the argument that the protesters started throwing large and harmful objects, and that they were the ones to call fire instead of the soldiers..

# data[].attributes.body
I think now the soldiers heard civilians yell to fire, and thats why they shot

# data[].attributes.body
I think they would have been shocked and would have probably done more protests despite most evidence leading to the face that it was probably self defense.

# data[].attributes.body
At first I thought the Boston Massacre was just a mass killing and a lot of people died like 20 or 30.

# data[].attributes.body
It was very much caused by the colonists as they were attacking the British, egging them on, and might have been the ones to shout "fire!".

# data[].attributes.body
Originally I had thought that the Boston massacre's soldiers were ordered to shoot, not confused.

# data[].attributes.body
Now i think the massacre was self deffense.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was the British that made the rash decision to fire into the crowd.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was murder.

# data[].attributes.body
At first I thought that the soldiers murdered the protesters because they didn't want them to protest any longer.

# data[].attributes.body
First I thought that the soilder did murder and the conilist did nothing at the bosten massacre.

# data[].attributes.body
Now i know that the Boston Massacre was not that big and only five people died which leaves me to question why it´s called a massacre.

# data[].attributes.body
First I thought that the Boston Massacre was an act of ruthless murder by the British soldiers and that the colonists were only victims

# data[].attributes.body
The first thing I thought about the Boston Massacre was that it was big and killed many.

# data[].attributes.headline

Now I think that it might be man-slaughter or self-defense because the initially were just protect the king but then the colonists had snowballs and the British had to protect themselves. Then they accidentally killed a couple people.

# data[].attributes.headline
It was a big event or something horrible that happened.

First I thought that it was murder about the Boston Massacre.

# data[].attributes.body
now I think that it was self defense towards the colonists because the colonists were throwing snowballs with rocks inside and the British had nothing to do.

# data[].attributes.body
At first I thought the soldiers were fighting the colonist for no reason.

# data[].attributes.body
First I thought that it was murder and the British trying to kill the colonists because they boycotted.
