Detailed explanation-1: -In 1770, Crispus Attucks, a black man, became the first casualty of the American Revolution when he was shot and killed in what became known as the Boston Massacre.
Detailed explanation-2: -John Adams, the future U.S. president who acted as one of the soldiers’ defense attorneys, used Attucks’ musculature-and his mixed-race lineage-in an effort to justify the British troops’ fear of him.
Detailed explanation-3: -Who helped the Americans in the revolution? A number of European countries assisted the American colonists. The primary allies were France, Spain, and the Netherlands with France giving the most support. Why did they want to help colonists?
Detailed explanation-4: -Attucks was the first to fall, thus becoming one of the first men to lose his life in the cause of American independence. His body was carried to Faneuil Hall, where it lay in state until March 8, when all five victims were buried in a common grave.
