the newspapers made it look like it was all the soldiers fault. Paul Revere drew a picture with the british general behind his soldiers rather than in front because if e was in back it means he was commanding them to fire at the colonists. the colonists provoked the redcoats by yelling at them and throwing stuff at them such as sharp oyster shells, glass, rocks, wood. the soldiers were merely defending themselves. but the newspapers make it look like the soldiers shot at the unarmed crowd of colonists for no reason at all.
