The day that the Boston Massacre occurred, Parliament repealed the Townshend Acts, a series of laws passed in 1776 that raised money in the colonies in order to cover the salaries of both governors and judges, therefore making them independent of colonial rule.

Bells began ringing and a crowd gathered quickly. Someone gave the order to fire and five citizens of Boston fell to the street, dead or mortally wounded.
Among them was Crispus Attucks, a fugitive slave who had actively participated in previous encounters with the soldiers. Attucks was the first victim of the Revolution.
