When the British first arrived in Boston, the colonists were mad. They refused to buy any more product from the British.

The colonists were so mad that they would often steal products sold by the British from stores in their community.
"Let's steal everything to show the British how mad we are!"

"Fire! We dare you!"
As a result of the British firing, five of the colonists were killed. The British commander commanded his troops not to fire, some did anyway.
"Bang, bang, bang!'
