How was the Boston massacre used as propaganda in the colonies?
Paul Revere’s engraving of the ‘massacre’ depicted the Boston massacre as just some unarmed innocent colonists that were being slaughtered by a group of British soldiers commanding them to do so. It was really just a skirmish and was mostly provoked by the colonists who came with clubs and other arms. No one really knows who started the fight, but once the first shot was heard, everyone started shooting.
