Boston Massacre Bloodshed

On that fateful night in 1770, tensions between Boston residents and British soldiers boiled over, erupting into a deadly confrontation that would become known as the Boston Massacre. Eyewitnesses on the tour recount the chilling details of how a peaceful protest against the presence of British troops quickly descended into chaos and violence, leaving five colonists dead and many more wounded.

As the tour guide explains, the events that unfolded that evening were a pivotal moment in the growing divide between the colonies and the British Crown:

• Colonists were incensed by the heavy-handed tactics of the British soldiers, who were widely seen as an occupying force.

• The shooting started when the soldiers opened fire on the crowd, fearful for their lives despite the lack of any real threat.

• The massacre galvanized public opinion against the British and became a rallying cry for the growing revolutionary movement.

Ben Franklin’s School Days

While the Boston Massacre had galvanized public opinion against the British, the tour guide now turns to the story of another famous Bostonian – Ben Franklin.

Franklin’s school days were marked by a series of decisions that would shape the rest of his remarkable life and career. Though born into a large family, young Ben showed an early aptitude for learning. However, his formal schooling was cut short when he dropped out at the age of 10 to work in his father’s candle shop.

Undeterred, Franklin continued his self-education, reading voraciously and experimenting with the use of a female pen name, ‘Silence Dogood,’ to publish his first writings. This combination of intellect, curiosity, and resourcefulness would become the hallmarks of Franklin’s storied life as a Founding Father.
