The main participants of the Boston Massacre were a group of British soldiers, known as the "lobsterbacks," and a crowd of colonists. The soldiers were part of the British army stationed in Boston, and the colonists were protesting against British taxation and the presence of troops in their city.
The Colonists believed that British rule threatened their liberty when the British started sending troops over to the New World to locate and capture the people that were protesting British taxation. The last straw before the Revolutionary War was when the King of England refused to read a petition to solve the problems.
