The Boston Massacre - Snow and Gunpowder - Extra History

The Boston Massacre didn’t come out of nowhere--resentment between the early US colonies and the British army had been brewing for some time over the Stamp Act. A propaganda war ensued between the loyalists and the radicals. John Adams would get his revolutionary start as he worked to resolve this injustice...

Probably not so much a "Massacre" as a "Brawl in the Snow Involving Panicking Soldiers."

mmmm a tragic event twisted by biased news sources to push political agendas mmmm this is sounding all to familiar in this day and age.

Alternate History Idea: what if, Following the Boston Tea Party, the Royalist Governor, Thomas Hutchinson, Organised his Own, far more Civilised Tea Party to try and mend Relations between the Royalists and the American Colonists. Then, the Sons of Liberty arrive, again in Disguise, and start smashing up Tables and Chairs, and a fight ensues between the party goers and the Sons of Liberty, attracting the attention of a Group of Redcoats who Decide to find out what all the Commotion is about.

The Kittens would have been most disPURRleased by both side's behaviour, had they been around at that Time.

Well that video was biased as hell. Was the cartoonist specifically instructed 'Make the British look as evil as possible?' The bare bones of what happened are clear, but the precise sequence of events that lead to the shots being fired is not something well established in history. There are too many contradictory eye witness statements for it to be otherwise. Maybe Extra History should make it a bit more clear when they're moving away from 'what we know happened' and more into 'what we want to be true'.

Haha, I love the image of a diplomatic tea party erupting into a barroom brawl. Sounds like a great scene for short film. - A

The Question in such a Reality being, would said Barroom Brawl help Turn Public Opinion against the Sons of Liberty by making them seem more like Violent Thugs rather than Freedom Fighters?
