The Bloody Massacre

Boston’s Deadly Start of the American Revolution

On a cold night in early March of 1770, a dustup by British Colonials in the streets outside the Boston Customs House became the unsuspecting flashpoint that many argue was the start of one of the most audacious actions in world history… the American Revolution.

What started with snowballs ended in gunfire and the death of five Bostonians. Stoked by the
iconic engraving by Paul Revere, the moment became a rallying point for a people ready for
change.
