Exageration or Hyperbole is used. Though it is known in history as the Boston Massacre only 5 people died. It was called a massacre to gain support for independance in the colonies.

Paul Revere produced the engraving shown here of the Boston Massacre. It was used as propaganda (something used to help or harm a cause or individual) to demand the removal of British troops from Boston.
