Boston Massacre

The Boston Massacre was an event prior to the American Revolutionary War that occurred in Boston.

Background
On March 5th, 1770, a crowd had gathered around British soldiers at Custom House Tower. After throwing objects at the guards and tempting them to shoot, the soldiers proceeded to do so; firing into the crowd of Boston civilians, killing five and injuring six others. Among one of the victims was Crispus Attucks, the first African-American to die for the American cause in the Revolutionary War. Prominent Americans such as Paul Revere and Samuel Adams used the massacre as propaganda to support their pro-revolution cause. Victims of the Boston Massacre are buried at the Old Granary burying ground.
