ASSACRE
On March 5, 1770, after being harassed for two years during their
occupation of Boston, British soldiers finally lost control, firing into a mob
of rioting Americans, killing several of them, including Crispus Attucks,
a runaway slave and sailor, the first African American patriot killed. The
aftermath of this “massacre” led to what eventually became the American
Revolution. The importance of the event grew, as it was used for political
purposes, to stoke the fires of rebellion in the colonists, and to show the
British in the most unflattering light.
The Boston Massacre
gathers together the most important primary
documents pertaining to the incident, along with images, anchored
together with a succinct yet thorough introduction, to give students of the
Revolutionary period access to the events of the massacre as they unfolded.
Included are newspaper stories, the official transcript of the trial, letters,
and maps of the area, as well as consideration of how the massacre is
remembered today.
