(1723–1770)
The Boston Massacre, known as the Incident on King Street by the British, was a confrontation on March 5, 1770, in which British Army soldiers shot and killed five people. The incident was heavily publicized by patriots Paul Revere and Samuel Adams to encourage rebellion against the British authorities.
Crispus Attucks was an American dockworker of African and Native American descent. He is widely regarded as the first person killed in the Boston Massacre and thus the first American killed in the American Revolutionary War.
