and propaganda for the patriotic cause. He was very keen to portray the British in an evil light in his work. One such example of the use of propaganda is in the famous work “The Bloody Massacre perpetrated in King Street, Boston, on March 5th, 1770, by a party of the 29th Regiment”, better known as the Boston Massacre. His engraving on the event shows Captain Preston urging on his men to fire on the crowd. The soldiers are shown standing in military formation firing a volley into a peaceful…

events of March 5th, 1770. However, these events were not properly, or truthfully, represented by the Patriots. The events of March 5th began to be referred to as the “Bloody Massacre” which was essentially propaganda used to persuade Americans to dislike England and want independence from them. Although the Bloody Massacre and the events of March 5, 1770 should have been the same event, they certainly were not.

Other people disagree and say that if the crown had been fairer to the colonists, the colonists would not have rebelled, and the American Revolution would not have happened. This paper argues that the American Revolution was inevitable. The American Revolution was inevitable because England kept…

The widely known Boston massacre was one of the most iconic events that helped shape our United States of America. On March 5, 1770 eight British soldiers will fire onto a crowd on Kingś street killing five colonists and injuring many more. I do not believe Captain Preston or his men are to blame for firing among what turned into a rioting mob. Throughout this paper I will prove Captain Preston and his British soldiers are not guilty of murder but instead acted in self defence against an…
