Well through a depiction by Paul Revere and newspapers
Revere made a depction of the massacre that was printed in colonial newspapers. In the depiction it looked like the Americans were surrounded by the British and were helpless. It seemed like the British were the bad guys in the depiction since they shot at people and people fell dead. There was blood and a dog in the picture and oddly enough women in it too. The real way it happened was that the Americans were the ones antagonizing the Brits. Other Brits gathered and Preson ordered 'Darn you, fire!" supposedly to his troops to fire. No one knows for suer who fired that day but it was Preston's troops, when the smoke cleared there were people wounded and people killed-Samuel Marvick, Crispus Attucks and so on. It was started and provoked by the Americans. Revere's depiction was completely inaccurate but it was an effective form of propoganda. It made people in the colonies think that it was a "Horrible Massacre" (that was a colonail newspapers headline) and that it was the British troops fault for no reason.
