their rights against the oirilaughts
of the British troops who
aad made life anything b *. pleasant
to the peopfti of Boston during the
i>eriod after the repeal of the Stamp
Act.
Resenting the insults put to them
by the men and boys of Boston, 4he
British troops protected themsolVes'
against the charge of the indignant
Boston men. When the smoke of the
British guns cleared away there were
eleven men- stretched on the ground,
i>f whom three were killed and eight
wounded. Although^ the demonstration
of the Boston cltisens was but a
defensive movejt had a great deal to
do with the hastening of the Revolutionary
war.
