Best Answer

You are asking about the Boston Massacre, but the event was Propaganda for the colonists who were wanting to show a cause for leaving the British crown. Paul Revere drew a handbill to spin the event into something much more than it really was. Most history books today show the drawing when writing about it. Other events between colonists and troops happened in other places, but you don’t read about them. One reason is that Boston was the center of anti British activists.
