The boxers deserves a bad rap because everything they did almost destroyed the world. For example, St. Michael Church is a french catholic church located in the south east edge of the Beijing legation. Around the 1950s, when the boxers arrived in the city Beijing. They went inside the church and killed everyone inside. They even burned it. Also, both the neighboring post office and French legation was destroyed. After the war, there was only a mess left in the area. Although they were trying to protect their own country, they were then controlled by the European traders and foreigners in the early 1860s. Which shows that the boxers failed to protect their own country and were actually controlled by the foreigners. Thus, the boxers deserves a bad rap.
