mar 5, 1770 - Boston Massacre

Description:

The Boston massacre started when multiple colonists - said to be part of the Sons of Liberty - started tossing stones and taunting the British troops. There was a bit of confusion, but either way, the British started firing at the citizens, killing some of them and turning them into martyrs. Paul revere would make a picture of the event as propoganda, making the British seem like mass killers of innocent civilians, increasing hatred towards the British.
