The statement that is NOT a primary purpose of Paul Revere's engraving is: To make sure that the other colonies knew that the British were not so bad after all.

Revere's engraving was intended to evoke outrage and unify the colonies against British rule by portraying the British soldiers in a negative light, emphasizing the violence and injustice of the Boston Massacre.
