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 powder keg of a colony, and in the process created some of the foundations of what would become United States law.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.3113 Ab Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.3113 Abrams Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.3113 Ab Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.3113 Ab Checked out 06/26/2024 Add Copy to MyList
