ArtifactEngraving, "The Bloody Massacre Perpetrated in King-Street, Boston on March 5th, 1770"
American patriot Paul Revere engraved, printed, and sold this graphic depiction. British troops were sent to Boston to regain control over the rebels. But townspeople resented their presence. One day, mischief-makers hurled insults and snowballs at the soldiers, who panicked and fired into the crowd. Five innocent people were killed, several others wounded. This widely publicized incident made colonists furious.
