The Boston Massacre was a deadly confrontation that occurred on March 5, 1770, and resulted in the death of five colonists who were shot by nine British soldiers or “Red Coats.” It began as a street brawl, but quickly escalated to a chaotic slaughter.
The Cause: Tensions ran high in Boston as skirmishes between Patriots and British soldiers or "Red Coats" were increasingly common. More than 2,000 British soldiers occupied Boston and tried to enforce Britain’s taxes. American colonists rebelled against the taxes they found repressive, rallying around the cry "No taxation without representation!"
The Effect: The Boston Massacre energized anti-British sentiment [feeling] and paved the way for the American Revolution.

While it may seem that revolutionary fervor was brewing in the American colonies, choosing sides and deciding whether to fight in the war was far from an easy choice for American colonists. The great majority were neutral or Loyalists.
Patriots tended to be younger while Loyalists were older folk with more to lose. The English never fully trusted the Loyalists. Patriots seized their property, and even imprisoned and executed others. More than 100,000 Loyalists left America when the war ended.

For Blacks, what mattered most was freedom. As the Revolutionary War spread, those in bondage sided with whichever army promised them personal liberty. The British actively recruited slaves belonging to Patriot masters and, consequently, more blacks fought for the Crown. For example, Lord Dunmore, the Governor of Virginia, promised freedom to any slaves owned by Patriot masters who would join the Loyalist forces. An estimated 100,000 African Americans escaped, died or were killed during the American Revolution.

The first major fighting to take place in the American Revolution was the Battle of Lexington, fought on April 19, 1775. This battle is also easily remembered because of the famous Minutemen, New England soldiers from Massachusetts who were ready for battle within a minute's notice. History rarely, if ever, mentons the fact that Black men were also members of the famous Minutemen!
Lemuel Haynes, for example, was the son of a Black father and white mother. Deserted by his mother and brought up by Deacon David Ross, Haynes developed a strong interest in the ministry [church] and began to write sermons or religious speeches as an adult. Although the patriotic call to bear arms for the American Revolutionary cause interrupted his preparation for the ministry, he would go on to become the first Black minister of a church with a white congregation after the war. Haynes would serve as a pastor in Vermont and New York until his death in 1833.

While rising tensions between the British and the colonists would lead to violence in the Boston Massacre and the destruction of property during the Boston Tea Party, American colonists did not officially declare independence until two years into the Revolutionary War.
Even in the Second Continental Congress of 1775, which selected George Washington as the head of the army, colonists still had not defined colonial independence. In fact, King George III didn’t officially declare the colonists in rebellion until after the Battle of Bunker Hill in June 1775.
“The Shot Heard ‘Round the World” refers to the first shots of the Revolutionary War in the Battle of Lexington and Concord.
