Crispus Attucks

Googling “the first casualty of the American Revolution” I found out that Crispus Attucks was one of the five men that were killed by the police in Boston. This event was known as The Boston Massacre. John Adams was a lawyer who made Crispus Attucks out to be a villain/evil person who wanted to attack the law. He was not only black he was mixed with African and Nantucket Indian. The black community considered Crispus Attucks as a hero in the Boston Massacre. I did not know that blacks could not be buried back in the seventeen hundreds. The deceased Adams became president afterwards. People such as Patriots and Propagandists deemed as “symbols of Liberty and instant martyrs” (PBS 1). It was very interesting to read, a lot of this information I did not know.
