Figure false: The Bloody Massacre Perpetrated in King Street, Boston, on March 5, 1770
Figure false: Paul Revere's mass-produced engraving shows the patriot version of events. Soldiers appear as a firing squad, shooting simultaneously at an unarmed and bewigged crowd; more likely the shooting was chaotic, and the fatalities were from lower classes who rarely wore wigs. Crispus Attucks, an African-Indian dockworker, was killed, but Revere depicts only whites among the injured. Anne S. K. Brown Military Collection, Providence, Rhode Island.
