SUMMARY:The Boston Massacre: A Family History
DESCRIPTION:251 years ago this March\, British soldiers shot into a crowd and killed five civilians outside Boston’s Old State House on a blustery night in 1770. In her new book on the Boston Massacre\, Serena Zabin\, professor of history at Carleton College\, offers a unique view of the British occupation of Boston highlighting that the British army at that time was a family institution with soldiers being accompanied by their wives and children\, who lived side-by-side (and often in common cause) with their fellow Bostonians. How did this familial bond break in the violent events of the Boston Massacre that led to a bitterly fought American Revolution? \nPlease join us for this virtual Concord Museum Forum. \nProfessor Zabin’s new book Boston Massacre: A Family History is available from the Concord Bookshop. \nDonations are encouraged to support the Concord Museum’s Education initiatives. \nThis program is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund.
