USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Patriot leaders organized a funeral procession for the five who were killed. Paul Revere produced the engraving shown here of the Boston Massacre. It was used as propaganda (something used to help or harm a cause or individual) to demand the removal of British troops from Boston.

Detailed explanation-2: -Designed to serve as Patriot propaganda, Revere’s engraving was a baldly biased depiction of the event. Instead of a chaotic scrum with violence on both sides, it showed an organized and sneering line of British soldiers firing on unarmed innocents in response to obvious orders from Captain Thomas Preston.

Detailed explanation-3: -Paul Revere created his most famous engraving titled the “Bloody Massacre Perpetrated in Kings Street in Boston” just 3 weeks after the Boston Massacre occurred on March 5, 1770. It is regarded by historians as an important document of the pre-revolutionary period.
