One of the worst school shootings in American history. First, in the morning Adam lanza killed his mother and then goes to the Sandy Hook school with 3 guns. Adam walked in and killed 20 kids and six adults. He then killed himself. Because of the light security, Adam lanza went in the school and then he was able to do whatever he wanted to.

More than a quarter of a million Africans were brought to the American colonies. Most of them worked on larger plantations on the south. Many American’s lost their jobs and they blamed it on the British. This caused the Boston Massacre also known as the Bloody Massacre. On the streets of Boston, a mob of Patriots fill the area. There were eight British soldiers that faced this angry mob. The words of a young man named Edward Garrick started this massacre.

On March 5, 1770, a British Sentry was being harassed by several Boston Citizens. They chirped and threw snowballs at him until he couldn’t take it anymore. He yelled for help and seven more British soldiers came to his aid. Soon many more Boston Civilians came to the scene which caused more distress. This terrible event would end with five people killed and several injured and lead me to believe that the British soldiers are not guilty.

On March 5, 1770 around nine o’clock a group of colonists gathered at the old state house and began to taunt British soldiers stationed there. One was struck by a rock being thrown by a colonist, his rifle discharging as he fell. The other soldiers began firing, and after the smoke cleared five colonists were dead. Captain Preston, who was the captain of the 29th Regiment of Foot, later gave an account on the trial that states that the massacre was a blunder on the British soldier’s part. Preston’s account states that the British were there to protect the king’s chest that Preston thought would be plundered by the colonists. The colonialists were mostly responsible for the Boston Massacre; the British troops were only acting on the defensive.

This resulted in a massive killing of blacks as whites had the overwhelming advantage in numbers and weapons. What’s most interesting about this case is the mystery surrounding the accounts of deaths. No one can approximately confirm how many people were killed in this massacre. Some sources identify as few as 30 people killed. Other sources estimate killings to over 300 people. The Opelousas Massacre was one of the deadliest riots to occur against African Americans during the era of Reconstruction.

BANG!!! A gun was fired, people scattered across the fields in panic running as fast as possible people’s hearts racing, the smell of smoke at the tents from the fire, people shouting and searching for their families. The sound of a train passing by when it all stopped, the train was blocking the shots, it was their chance to hide behind behind the hills or run far away were they couldn't see them.

The Jonestown Massacre is one of the most horrific massacres of 1978 leading close to 1,000 deaths. I found this story to be very disturbing and at times I found myself thinking how can one person have so much power over so many minds. This massacre leads many people being manipulated by a psychopath by the name of Reverend Jim Jones who would set the stage of a mass suicide. Many questions were needing to be answered after this tragic event in history, what methods were used to get so many people to do what he said, the state of mind the Jones and others were in, what environmental factors played a role in this situation, what was the purpose, so many of these same questions I asked myself as I got future in the story. Nonetheless, psychological factors for sure played a part, power, and manipulation for ones gain all were contributors here.
