The American Revolution came as the result of a series of events and escalations in the tensions between the British and the American colonies. One of the incidents that accelerated the process toward revolution was the “Boston Massacre” in 1770. How might the process of American independence be different if this event never occurs?

However, on May 1, 1884, Moses Fleetwood Walker became the first black man to play in a Major League game before baseball became segregated for the next 63 years. What might have been different if the American Pastime had not become segregated and other African-Americans had followed Walker?
