The Boston Massacre
from History Distilled Hosted by Team Elendil
This episode of "History in Six Minutes" takes a look at the Boston Massacre, a pivotal event in American history. In the early morning hours of March 5, 1770, British soldiers fired into a crowd of colonists, killing five. This event inflamed tensions between the colonists and the British government and helped set the stage for the American Revolution. Special Thanks to "A History of the American People" by Paul Johnson for providing most of the content for this episode. Please check out his book if you want to learn US history. It is the best book I have found on the topic. Also thanks to Wikipedia and Google Gemini for filling in additional details for the story. Thanks to our monthly supporters Dan
