But in the tense years before the American Revolution, he was still just a lawyer, fighting for justice in one of the most explosive murder trials of the era. On the night of March 5, 1770, shots were fired by British soldiers on the streets of Boston, killing five civilians. The Boston Massacre has often been called the first shots of the American Revolution. As John Adams would later remember, "On that night the formation of American independence was born." Yet when the British soldiers faced trial, the young lawyer Adams was determined that they receive a fair one. He volunteered to represent them, keeping the peace in a poder keg of a colony, and in the process created some of the foundations of what would become United States law. 600 10 $a Adams, John, $d 1735-1826. 650 0 $a Boston Massacre, 1770. 650 0 $a Trials (Murder) 650 0 $a Compact discs. 650 0 $a Talking books 650 0 $a Books on compact discs 650 0 $a Compact discs $v Nonfiction 650 0 $a Talking books $v Nonfiction 651 0 $a Boston (Mass.) $v Trials, litigation, etc. 700 1 $a Fisher, David, $e author. 700 1 $a Wayne, Roger, $d 1984- $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063056.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5992DB4CEAB411EB95DB475F3FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
