What influenced Paul Revere's work?

His picture of the Boston Massacre was a propaganda to try to make the Patriots look innocent, although they weren't. The Patriots started the Boston Massacre by harassing some British guards and more people from both sides gathered. Paul Revere drew his picture of the massacre to make it look like the British started the massacre so people would think that British were overpowering the Patriots. The Patriots were drawn looking worn out, tired, and wounded. So, in all, the Boston Massacre influenced one of Paul Revere's pieces of work. I hope this helped. Sorry if it didn't.


Who was the first person in the Boston Massacre?
