Boston Massacre

The anniversary of the Boston Massacre is celebrated annually in Boston. #BostonMassacre #Anniversary

Prelude to the Boston Massacre The seeds for the Boston Massacre were sown in the mid-18th century when Britain imposed heavy taxes on its American colonies. This move resulted in widespread unrest and discontent among colonists. Many felt that as they didn’t have representatives in the British Parliament, these taxes were unjust and an example of “taxation without representation”. This tension…

Today marks the 251st anniversary of the Boston Massacre, a bloody brawl between colonists and British soldiers which paved the way for the American Revolution. 

Killed in the massacre was Crispus Attucks, a freedman and dockworker, making him the first American killed in the Revolution.

#Repost @nbcnightlynews: The Boston Massacre took place on this day in 1770. Just three weeks after the battle, Patriot leader Paul Revere depicted the fight with this famous engraving, titled “The Bloody Massacre in King-Street.” Revere’s drawing depicts seven British soldiers on the right firing into a crowd of Colonials on the left in what would become one of the most effective pieces of war propaganda in American history. . . . . . #BostonMassacre #AmericanRevolution #soldiers #British #America

Boston Massacre

The Boston Massacre, or the Incident on King Street, occurred in Boston, Massachusetts, on 5 March 1770, when nine British soldiers fired into a crowd of American colonists, ultimately killing five and wounding another six. The massacre was heavily propagandized by colonists such as Paul Revere and helped increase tensions in the early phase of the American Revolution (c. 1765-1789).

Least we forget, the first person to die in the #americanrevolutionarywar at the #BostonMassacre was #crispusattucks Attucks was mixed race #BIPOC. His body was carried to Faneuil Hall, where it lay in state until March 8, when all five victims were buried in a common grave. Attucks was the only victim of the Boston Massacre whose name was widely remembered. In 1888 the Crispus Attucks monument was unveiled in the Boston Common. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCLLaU4JWdm/?igshid=19zmtv9huahtf

I almost forgot to post these beautiful shots of my lovely friends @madamestuckcatman and @lauriakincaid from @revspaces’ day of interpretation around the 250th anniversary of the #BostonMassacre. They portrayed Ame and Elizabeth Cummings, two unmarried sisters who owned and ran a millinery business together. Since they sold things like ribbons, trimmings, and hats that were not being made commercially in the US, they had no choice but to continue importing goods from England after the boycotts. A friend of theirs was tarred and feathered on their doorstep and they were called out in the newspapers. After the war they left for Canada, where many Loyalists rebuilt their lives. They had legitimate, survival-based reasons for not being with the Patriot cause. I had the honor of playing Elizabeth Cummings myself a few years ago, and it definitely enlightened me about how nothing is black and white. (Except supporting fascism, that’s pretty damn black and white). It’s also worth noting that my friends here made everything they’re wearing! Spectacular costumers both! #bostonhistory #historicalfashion #18thcenturyfashion #18thcentury #18thcenturycostume #costuming #historicalcostuming #historicalfashion #fashionhistory #historicalinterpretation #livinghistory #loyalists #cummingssisters #boston #massachusetts #massachusettshistory https://www.instagram.com/p/B9om0F-A52u/?igshid=1fnhiancqqsgd
