Hypothesis Who do you think is to blame for the “massacre”? Why do you think this? Educated guess: How much of this engraving is fact? Fiction?

Tensions grow in Boston (and the colonies in general!)… In the years leading up to the Boston Massacre (1770), England imposes: Stamp Act 1756 Proclamation Line of 1763 Townshend Acts, writs of assistance 1767 Quartering Act 1767 How do you think all of these laws might have made the colonists feel?

“The Boston Massacre” Engraving by silversmith Paul Revere (he was not there. Got ideas from another man). March, 1770 British soldiers on right, colonists on left. Created following a tragic interaction between 2 groups. Inaccurate depiction of what happened. So what did happen? Video: rwwaRuww rwwaRuww

Paul Revere's Engraving - Explained The presence of British troops in Boston had long been a sore point among Boston's radical politicians. Paul Revere wasted no time in capitalizing on the Massacre to highlight British tyranny and stir up anti-British sentiment among his fellow colonists. As you will see, Revere's historic engraving is long on political propaganda and short on accuracy or aesthetics.

Conclusion Did Paul Revere’s engraving of the Boston Massacre try to make colonists more upset with England? Why did Revere bend the truth to influence people to be more upset with England? Why would John Adams, a colonist, defend British soldiers when they killed 5 colonists?
