1 The colonist version The British version
Almost immediately after the Boston Massacre, artists on both sides of the Atlantic tried to interpret it in ways that made the event look more favorable in their eyes. For example, Revere’s engraving, at left shows the British firing into the crowd of unarmed civilians. The British interpretation, at right shows the British soldiers being attacked by the colonists, with Crispus Attucks leading the way advancing against the soldiers and holding a club. Without photographic evidence of the event, it meant that anyone could (and did) interpret the event the way they wanted. “The Boston Massacre” “The Boston Riot”
