The Boston massacre got so much attention because of the Propaganda the Paul Revere made-because it was greatly over exaggerated and it proposed that a lot of people died when only five did. Because of this, many of the colonist and or patriots were extremely angry at the British, once again. Thus- this is one of the events leading up to the American revolution.

It wasn't really a massacre (battle in which many people die) because only 5 people died. It was made a big deal to anger colonists.

Because it was used by newspapers as propaganda on a spin to help increase the revolutionaries in the struggle against Britain.
