By Joseph Warren

A vital primary source, "A Short Narrative of the Horrid Massacre in Boston" offers a gripping account of the events of March 5, 1770, a pivotal moment leading to the American Revolution.

Attributed to Joseph Warren, a leading figure in the Patriot cause, the document served as powerful propaganda, galvanizing public opinion against British rule.
