Detailed explanation-1: -Boston Massacre Cause: Colonists were still angry about previous events, particularly the Quartering Act. Relations were poor between the soldiers and colonists. Effect: Colonists started throwing snowballs at the soldiers and called them names. Shots were fired and five colonists were killed.
Detailed explanation-2: -The presence of British regular troops in the streets of Boston enraged colonists, who now felt they were being occupied by a foreign army. British soldiers faced numerous insults and taunting as they patrolled the streets.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most of the soldiers ended up being acquitted, including Thomas Preston, who was found innocent because he never ordered the shots. Two soldiers were found guilty of manslaughter, and their hands were branded with “M” as their punishment. The incident fueled the anger of colonists like Samuel Adams and Paul Revere.
Detailed explanation-4: -More than 2, 000 British soldiers occupied the city of 16, 000 colonists and tried to enforce Britain’s tax laws, like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts. American colonists rebelled against the taxes they found repressive, rallying around the cry, “no taxation without representation.”
