America Tried to Erase Its First Black Hero from History

I learned about Crispus Attucks when I was a child. We had the African American History Comic books.

While he was Brave but your history makes everything about race. How TH do you know he was “The first killed” They fired and killed several people. It is presented as propaganda, BTW if he swung a club at a soldier it is assault and justifies the soldiers firing.

He was Aboriginal/Native American who had a “Negro” phenotype…we’ve been here before Columbus.. the eastern woodland natives had a different look than plains Indians

The right-wing take on taxes is WRONG. As adults, the colonists recognized that civilized society cannot exist without taxes. They shouted NO TAXES WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. As British citizens, they felt they deserved representation in Parliament, as was established in the Magna Carta.
In fact the infamous Tea Tax was a trick. The colonists were granted cheap tea so long as they accepted the idea that they were second-class citizens unworthy of determining their own futures.

I learned about Mr Attacks in school.

He wasn't mixed he was full Blk indigenous. They always say he is mixed with African but he was a fully Blk indigenous man from a Blk indigenous tribe.

I was taught about Crispus Attucks in my Social Studies class in my 4th grade class… it was a small section but I remembered his story.

"First Man to die for the flag we now hold high was a Black Man." – Stevie Wonder 1976

Was he a Wampanoag?

Crispus fought the wrong enemy.

There is a Daycare named after him in Boston.

What until you find out what "Really" happened during the Tea Party! They were masquerading as "Mohawk Indians" They were throwing a rock and hiding their hands! (They wanted the Indians to take the Blame)

"MIND US ALL THAT NOT UNTIL THE "1870 NATURALIZATION ACT" PRIMARYLY TO ADOPT AND HYPOTHECATE THE "ABORIGINAL EUMELANATED PEOPLES" OF THIS "AL MAGHREB AL AQSA" HERE AND NOT FOR THE EUMELANATED 13 COLONYZERS THAT WERE CHIEFLY BRITISH! (8.13.'26)"

NOW WE KNOW WHY TRUMP ATTACKS PBS

"WHAT'S MORE INTERESTING IS HE MAY HAVE HAD EITHER "EUMELANATED ABORIGINAL" OR JUST "NATIVE RED INDIAN" BLOOD, BUT HE WAS CONSIDERED TREASONOUS TO THE/HIS CATHOLIC MOOR KING GEORGE! MANY OF THE 13 COLONIST WERE EUMELANATED! (8.13.'26)"

The republicans aka white Christians have multiple publishing companies and state governments all in order to keep history written in their race and religion.

Spanish subjects, local militias, and troops from Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela provided vital military, logistical, and financial aid to the 13 colonies.Key Hispanic Figures and ContributionsBernardo de Gálvez: The Spanish governor of Louisiana led military campaigns against British forces along the Gulf Coast, capturing Baton Rouge, Natchez, Mobile, and winning the crucial Siege of Pensacola in 1781.Jorge Farragut: An experienced Spanish naval commander from Minorca who fought against the British in pivotal port defenses.Financial and Material Support: Spain and territories like New Spain and Cuba funneled massive shipments of gunpowder, weapons, and uniforms, and provided silver currency that financed the final campaign at Yorktown.Regional Militias: Multi-ethnic Hispanic and localized militias secured the southern and western frontiers, keeping supply lines open via the Mississippi River.Would you like to learn more about a specific leader like Bernardo de Gálvez, or explore how Spain's official entry into the war changed the global outcome for the American colonies?

He had no business being there, dying for a cause which ultimately didn’t benefit his people makes him a fool.

Look up real history. Means with out blacks, distorting truth to fit black. He was one of many killed by British troops. During the Boston massacre. No hero action. The British to disperse a riot ,shot into a crowd .others went down with him. He didn't do anything heroic . Yes any man standing against British tryanny. Was brave to stand against troops.

i live in a small town outside of boston, in fifth grade we watched a movie retelling of john adams’ defense of the british who fired. just learned now what strategy he really used, as it was depicted much differently from what i recall. in the same class we went in depth on the brutality of the king philips war – so what was told, and left unsaid (crispus attucks was never even mentioned) is quite striking

Black Americans are the most faithful Patriots to this country 🇺🇸❤️🫡

It’s both cool and depressing that everything I learn about the early days of America fills in gaps. I first learned about Crispus in sanitized history books, growing up on the West coast. When I moved to Boston, I studied Boston history (and therefore America’s founding history), which filled in more of his story. When I later studied Black American history, his story developed further. And yet, the nuances and context keep expanding with each retelling.
