The Boston Massacre unfolded on the evening of March 5, 1770, when British soldiers in Boston opened fire on a group of American colonists. Tensions between the American colonists and the British were already running high when a crowd of jeering Bostonians began hurling snowballs and insults at British soldiers stationed outside the Boston Customs House. However, what began as a relatively minor confrontation quickly spiraled out of control. The British soldiers, feeling threatened and under siege, responded with deadly force, firing into the crowd, resulting in the tragic deaths of five colonists.
