The first American shot and killed during the Boston Massacre was Crispus Attucks. He was an African-American - a former slave, merchant seaman and dockworker.

His death was unique because of the situation - he became an icon of the anti-slavery movement and an example of the first black hero of the American Revolution. The Boston Massacre was a result of the mounting tensions between British soldiers and Americans, and is believed to have been an important lead-up to the Revolutionary War five years later. This makes the event, and those involved - such as Crispus Attucks, an important part of American history.

What ways was the Mormon migration unique?

Unlike the pioneers who went west on the Oregon trail to find new land to farm & ranch.

Mobs in Illinois had burned their homes, killed their prophet and had forced them to flee Illinois. The federal government didn't come to their aid, even though the constitution granted them 'FREEDOM OF RELIGION'. They had no other choice.
