In reaction to the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770, local British authorities reacted moderately and with an eye on towards maintaining the general peace. The British officer and enlisted men alleged to have been involved were allowed to be put on trial for the killings that occurred, while General Thomas Gage, commanding officer of the British force, ordered both occupying regiments out of the city, so as to prevent any further friction.
