In detail, according to a letter by Governor Bernard, in a central park of Boston an effigy, doll representation, of the stamp distributor, Mr. Oliver, was found hung from a tree. This initial blow to the law keepers of Boston came as a surprise, as they did not know how to react to the situation.

    I actually didn’t know that Paul Revere was only one of many messengers who alerted the minutemen that the British troops were coming in, I only remember the story of Paul Revere himself warning them, but it again created a good story and would be inspiring. I also wasn’t aware that the Boston Massacre was really an unfortunate mishap, or that Reveres rendition of it that spread in print throughout the colonies, was false and misleading (“Boston, Bloody Boston: The Revolution”). Presenting a martyr figure in Crispus Attucks would also have roused the rebels, it was very clever. That brings me to one of my biggest surprises, just how significant the role of print and propaganda was in its impact on furthering and increasing rebellion, leading

British historians have referred to the Boston Massacre as the "Incident on King Street". After looking over the "Captain Thomas Preston 's Account of the Boston Massacre", as well as "Boston Massacre Trial Depositions" I believe that American historians should refer to the "Boston Massacre" as the "Incident on King Street". The definition of a massacre refers to an unnecessary and random killing of a large number of individuals.
