Shown here is the moment of the Boston Massacre, the night of March 5, 1770, when British soldiers fired into a crowd near the Customs House on King Street. Five colonists were killed, including Crispus Attucks, and the shooting became a rallying point for patriot anger at the presence of British troops in the city. Paul Revere's 1770 engraving of the scene was openly propagandistic, and a later drawing like this one reflects how the event was remembered and retold, so it is worth reading as an interpretation as well as a record.
