Product Details:

The Boston Massacre by Howard Pyle depicts a dramatic and chaotic scene from the historical event that took place on March 5, 1770. In the image, British soldiers under Captain Thomas Preston fire upon unarmed American colonists. The Boston Massacre was one of several events leading up to the American Revolution. It occurred in a context of increasing tension due to acts like the Townshend Acts, which imposed taxes without colonial representation. This incident, along with others like the Boston Tea Party, contributed to the growing momentum towards rebellion and the eventual Declaration of Independence in 1776.
