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 was eventually 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.
