Anti-British feelings among the colonists grew more intense because of Paul Revere's engraving of the Boston Massacre.

The socalled "shot heard 'round the world" was a confrontation in 1775 between British troops & American colonists at Lexington Massachusetts.
The Boston Massacre was touched off by tensions between British soldiers and the American colonists. On March 5, 1770, a confrontation escalated when a British soldier was struck by a colonist, leading to the firing of shots by the British soldiers, resulting in the death of five colonists.

The entire revolution could have been avoided had the colonists and British acted differently. However, on the course the two sides had set, a confrontation in Boston was inevitable.
Paul Revere used his skills as a silversmith and engraver to create and disseminate a widely circulated engraving depicting the Boston Massacre. The engraving depicted the British as brutal and cold-blooded murderers, invoking sympathy and outrage among the colonists. This visual representation played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and fueling anti-British sentiment throughout the colonies.
