How was the tea law and the Boston massacre related?
During the British rule over the 13 colonies, the Townshend Duties were imposed. One was the tea tax, but it also was a tax on things such as paper and paint. The Boston Massacre was a result of colonists being angry at the British for enforcing it, so they were complaining to the soldiers on duty in front of the Customs House. The British, to protect themselves, took extreme measures when colonists attacked them, and shot.
Why did the British think the townshend acts would anger the colonists less than the stamp act did?
Because the british put a duty on all the products imported in the colonies, including tea, which they drink almost everyday. For the stamp act, the british put a duty on paper products. So the basic point is, it would anger them more because lots of people traded and trading was very important and they were being taxed by it.
