Crispus Attucks was one of five people to be killed.
The first fatalities of the Revolutionary war took place in Boston (Boston Massacre). One name I know for sure is Crispus Atticus.
The reason why Crispus Attucks's death is so significant is, the first shot fired during the start of the Revolutionary War is known as, "THE SHOT HEARD AROUND THE WORLD". Well that first shot, was the shot fired by the British soldier, killing him and others.
I think they elected him because he was a military hero, and contributed to the United States winning the Revolutionary War.
The story of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, which occurred on April 19, 1775, was when the redcoats made their first appearance. The redcoats were members of the British Army, and the uniform they were issued was given that title. King George III, had plenty of money to see that his military had the best, when it came to their uniforms. The minutemen were Americans who formed a troop, and their goal was to be ready to fight in a minutes notice, should the British cause trouble. On that day of April 19, 1775, the redcoats marched into the area. They seemed to be in a happy and carefree state of mind. The minutemen attacked. About 90 Americans were killed or wounded, and about 200 British troops were killed or wounded. The American Revolutionary War had officially begun.

The first battle of the Revolutionary War is considered to be the Battle of Lexington. This "Battle" was not even what could be called a skirmish. The British technically won the battle because more Americans than British were killed on Lexington Green and because the colonists did not prevent the British from moving on to Concord.
