The Boston Massacre is one of those events that are
covered in history class and in history textbooks in a sentence or two.
The incident is relegated to the status of an ‘important event’ that
includes two referential points: it was the first conflict between the
colonists and the English soldiers and the main character in the drama,
Crispus Attucks, was a young Black man. This 6 page paper argues that
the Boston Massacre, while being a pivotal event in the confrontation
between the British Empire and its colony in America, was not the
brutish misuse of power that has been portrayed. Bibliography lists 6
sources.
