The Boston Massacre occurred on March 5, 1770. A squad of British soldiers, come to support a sentry who was being pressed by a heckling, snowballing crowd, let loose a volley of shots. Three persons were killed immediately and two died later of their wounds; among the victims was Crispus Attucks, a man of black or Indian parentage. The British officer in charge, Capt. Thomas Preston, was arrested for manslaughter, along with eight of his men; all were later acquitted. The Boston Massacre is remembered as a key event in helping to galvanize the colonial public to the Patriot cause.

How many slaves were one horse and a length of silk worth

Answers

It would depend on the time period as in the 17th century a slave was worth around ten dollars while the value rose up to 400 dollars in the 19th century.

Explanation:

As far as trade in the Atlantic slave trade is concerned one can understand that the trade was based on practices that had little to do with barter of horses and silk.

Silk was a rarer commodity in US due to the less use of it and being made in China.

Hence, at any given time frame the value of a slave according to these would fluctuate but for a reference we can see that the value of a slave was around 10 dollars at the height of the trade in the 17th century but it eventually became more and more and reached around 400 to 800 dollars in 19th century.

Answers

However, at the end of the 19th century the first British measures were created to allow greater involvement of Indians in government. These measures put Indians in positions of advice to the viceroy. These positions were of legislative representation, controlling the criminal laws.

British citizens controlled laws and taxes and held all important positions.
