A crowd has rapidly formed and they were tossing things such as, rock-filled snowballs, bricks, and stones while being insulted. Quoting from witnesses, ¨lobster backs¨, ¨red coats¨, cowards!

What Really Happened at the Boston Massacre It was a cool night in Boston in early march. I was passing by the customs house while a group of boys began to yell and hollering at some British soldiers.

The 1972 Munich olympics were more than just any olympics. They were the first time the olympics were held in germany since 1936 when hitler was still in power. This was a chance to eliminate the bad memories of that time. Everyone knew that these olympics would be memorable but no one could have expected what happened. I woke up the sound of a pounding on the door. I rolled over and looked at the alarm clock. It read 4:00am. Who could be here this early? I thought. “I’ll get it” groaned Coach Weinberg

War affects people deeply. It affects them as individuals and it affects them as a people. The experience of war and the changes that happen are different but lives are never the same. Each film tries to describe this to those who haven’t personally experienced it. Where 12 O’clock High has a focus on the individual soldiers, City of Life and Death takes a wider view from combatant to civilian to foreigner. Early on war was depicted as glorified heroism.

The soldiers panicked and fired at the colonists causing the death of five colonists and ten injured men. I believe that the cause of the Boston Massacre was due to the British.
