Accounts of the Boston Massacre differ because colonists and British citizens saw the massacre as two different things. Also some colonists like John Adams who fought for their innocence in court saw it different than most of the colonists. The colonists saw this as an event that really shows that the British are against them while John Adams saw that the people had something to do with it and that the British deserved a fair trial just like everyone else. Colonists used this as propaganda to convince Loyalists and Neutralists to join the Patriot side. An example of propaganda is the engraving that Paul Revere made (The Bloody Massacre) even thought this was the least massacrey massacre in history. After all a massacre is defined as a slaughter of a large number of people. Only five people were killed that night including one freed black man named Crispus Attucks.
