5 mars 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.Ajouté au bande de temps:
