The Boston Massacre occurred on March 5, 1770, when British soldiers shot and killed five colonists during a confrontation in Boston. Tensions had been escalating due to British taxation and military presence in the colonies. The event became a rallying point for anti-British sentiment and was used as Propaganda by colonial leaders, notably Paul Revere, to galvanize public opinion against British rule. It played a significant role in the buildup to the American Revolution.
