In Boston in the late 1760s, signs of what later became the American Revolution first began with residents who ended up being irritated by the heavy taxation to which they were subjected.

On March 5, 1770, British officials under the guise of guarding Boston Customs were surrounded by loud Bostonians Linga heavily-packed snowballs. The small group of soldiers lost control when one of their regiment was hit. Despite explicit orders to the contrary, they eventually fired on a crowd of civilians, killing three and injuring eight others, two of them severely. This sensationalist portrait of the scouts was engraved, printed, and sold by future Revolutionary War hero Paul Revere.
