What was the issue that caused a group of men and boys to begin to attack some british soldiers standing guard that led to the boston massacre? who would successfully defend them on murder charges?

The incident occurred on March 5, 1770, it began with a minor thing, a street brawl between a group of American colonists and one British soldier, but it turned into chaos. Some 2,000 British soldiers had been occupying Boston - it had a 16,000-inhabitant population then - and were forcing American colonists to pay taxes owed to the British crown. The colonists found those tax laws unfair, abusive.

As an irony of history, the lawyer that took charge of the defendants at their trial was colonist John Adams, who would be president of the United States.

Explanation:

polling is a process and the outcome is not involved in the process itself.

the outcome, which is an unfavorable rating for a particular candidate is not affected by the mechanical process of polling.

it rather depends on the number of people voting in favor of the candidate.

this is an outcome of people's preferences.
