Well here's a summary by chatgpt. In terms of my post, people are fighting against their own American government. its like the American government is the British... The OPs image is of the Boston massacre.
You can see the similarities in Americas government with the British during this time of the Boston massacre... Tariffs...manipulation of jobs... Etc...
"The Boston Massacre occurred on March 5, 1770, in Boston, Massachusetts. British soldiers fired into a crowd of colonists, killing five civilians and wounding others. It was a flashpoint in the growing tension between the American colonists and British authorities.
Reasoning / Causes:
British Troops in Boston: Britain stationed troops in Boston in 1768 to enforce unpopular laws and taxes (like the Townshend Acts), increasing tension with colonists.
Economic Strain & Competition: British soldiers took part-time jobs, competing with local workers and worsening resentment.
Hostility and Protests: Colonists harassed soldiers with insults and thrown objects. The soldiers, fearing for their safety, eventually fired.
Propaganda: Colonial leaders like Paul Revere and Samuel Adams used the incident to fuel anti-British sentiment and rally support for the revolutionary cause."
