Boston Massacre: Animated Graphic Novel

Any discussion of the American Revolution begins with an examination of the Boston Massacre. When British soldiers fired into a crowd on King Street in Boston, killing five American colonists and wounding half a dozen others, it galvanized many people behind the Patriot cause.

To mark the 250th anniversary of this pivotal event, the American Battlefield Trust has created a short animated video explaining the significance of this moment. The images used are from our upcoming graphic novel about the first 100 years of American history.
