The event was really used as a Propaganda for the men who wanted revolution. Revere drew handbills showing the British soldiers shooting colonists, but the reality of it was much different and the Boston massacre wasn't the only thing to happen like that. Yet, the other events weren't used to try to convince people that they needed to fight. John Adams was the lawyer for the soldiers and they were found not guilty. The handbills weren't seen in most places outside of Boston so the influence was short term. The history channel did a program on the series Unsolved History about the Boston massacre that disputed what we think we know about it. It is worth watching.
