THink about it this way:
A foreign ruler has oppressed you and taxed you relentlessly (Stamp Act, Townshend Act, Sugar Act, etc.), closed your harbor (Intolerable Acts), and treated you unfairly.
Now, they send soldiers to two of your towns and kill some hundred people.
That would really tick most people off, and that's pretty much it. At that point, the colonists pretty much lost it and revolted.

How did the battles of Lexington and Concord lead many colonists to call for independence from Britain?
At the formal start of the American War for Independence, the Battles of Lexington and Concord led to support for the independence movement for several reasons. For one thing, the Lexington battle demonstrated yet again the British willingness to shed American blood, and this galvanized many Americans. For another thing, the American victory at Concord inspired confidence in many Americans that the British could be beaten in a war.

How did the Boston massacre lead to the lexington and concord battle?
It didn't lead to Lexington and Concord. First, they were several years apart so there is no direct relationship and there were several "Boston massacre " type events before it. The difference was the propaganda handbills that were drawn by Revere to show the soldiers shooting colonists. It didn't happen the way it was shown and John Adams was the lawyer for the soldiers. They were found not guilty. The battle at Lexington wasn't planned by either side, and to this day no one knows who fired the first shot that morning. No matter that day did result in the first shots, but it still didn't result in the war. It will be another year before the Declaration of Independence and Bunker Hill. After Bunker Hill the king decided that the colonies were in rebellion and traitors to the king.
