- The Boston Massacre
- I, like many others, am very frustrated with the British and what they are doing to our colonies. I stand here, among hundreds of others, protesting against these absurd taxes that the British are forcing us to pay.
- The Boston Massacre
- A line of British men stands in front of me, and hundreds of members of my colony stand beside me. Every British man is armed and ready to fight at any given moment, whereas we are weaponless men with hopes of finding freedom away from British rule. Each British soldier has a bayonet, they stand perfectly in their lines, watching our every move.
- The Boston Massacre
- Several of the American colonists are getting riled up, yelling and throwing things at the British men in front of us. The British commander is repeatedly commanding the British soldiers to stand down.
- The Boston Massacre
- Unexpectedly I hear a gunshot fire and see one of my fellow colonists drop to the ground. He's been shot straight in the head and was killed instantly. I watch as a huge riot has brokes out between the British and my fellow Americans.
- I decided to stand my ground and fight alongside my people, charging at the first British man in front of me. Everything happened so fast, I hadn't realized that my side was bleeding. I quickly found, while I was fighting with a British soldier, somehow he had managed to shoot me without me realizing.
- My vision starts to become blurry, making it hard for me to balance in the midst of all the fighting around me. Before I know it I'm laying on the ground losing my focus as my vision goes in and out. I look around me, seeing more colonists being shot in front of my eyes. Wishing there was something I could do to help my people, for I feel I've failed them.
