Answer: Crispus Attucks

Step-by-step explanation:

On March 5, 1770, during a crowd of hecklers that started mocking and flinging the British troops, the runaway Indian-African American slave Crispus Attucks was credited as one in the head of the mob. In the middle of the turmoil, a British soldier was knocked down and before dying he fired into the crowd, inciting others to do the same. In the end, 5 people were murdered, including Attucks, and 8 more were wounded.
