Explanation:

The Boston Massacre was a street skirmish that occurred on March 5, 1770 in Boston, the capital of the province of Massachusetts Bay, between the colonists and the English soldiers.

During the clash, the soldiers shot three and wounded eleven Bostonians, from which two could not recover from their wounds and died. This incident, which went down in American history as the "Boston massacre", ended with the removal of all the English military from the city. In 1888, an obelisk was erected in Boston to commemorate this event.

The Boston massacre was one of the climaxes of the confrontation between Britain and its North American colonies. It served as a signal for the equally legendary Boston Tea Party, and subsequently the American War of Independence.
