What happened in Boston on that winter day?

We do not know a lot about Crispus Attucks. There is little information about his life.
•Born about 1723 in Massachusetts Colony.
• Son of an African father and a Native American mother?
•Attucks means ‘deer’ in Natick Indian language.

We know that when he was in his 20s, Attucks was a slave.He lived with his master, Deacon William Brown, in Framingham, Massachusetts.

Some historians believe that Attucks earned money by trading horses and cattle. He saved enough to pay for his freedom, but Brown refused to accept payment.

Many believe Crispus Attucks ran away for his freedom.

These forks were used to pitch the pieces of minced blubber* into the hot try-pots to boil it down into oil. The long handles prevented sore backs from too much bending over and protected the men from getting too close to the boiling oil.
*blubber = whale meat

Ambergris was whaling’s most valuable prize. A waxy substance from a sperm whale’s intestines, it was occasionally found in whales’ stomachs but more commonly floating on the sea or washed up on shore. Some pieces weighed several hundred pounds. For many decades, perfume makers used it as a fixative to prolong scents.
Why whales produce ambergris remains unknown. It may coat indigestible fragments, such as pieces of squid beaks, to protect a whale’s intestines. Or it may be the whale’s equivalent of human gallstones.
Ambergris is used to make perfume.

After twenty years, Crispus Attucks took a break from whaling.Perhaps he decided to look for work in the city.

There were a lot of angry Americans in Boston at that time.
For years, Americans were angry about new laws established by King George of England and the Parliament. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:George_III_Zoffany.jpg

In 1770, Americans in Boston were very angry about King George’s unfair tax laws.
Americans said the tax laws were unfair because they could not vote for them.
Act = Law

Americans hated another law called the Quartering Act. This law permitted soldiers to move into people’s homes. The soldiers did not have to pay for using people’s things or eating their food.
Americans insulted the English soldiers by calling them ‘redcoats’ and ‘lobster backs.’
