The British antagonized them with many things. The biggest were taxes levied to help pay for the French and Indian War, and the Boston Massacre. The Boston Massacre occurred in Boston when drunken British officers were accused, put on trial, and found not guilty of killing colonist. Samuel Adams made this act sound bigger than it really was by calling it a Massacre and passing out handbills showing the event. The thing is that you have to remember is that EVERYONE was British, yet they felt disrespected by the King.

What event occurred when British troops killed 5 colonists?
You are asking about the Boston Massacre, but the event was propaganda for the colonists who were wanting to show a cause for leaving the British crown. Paul Revere drew a handbill to spin the event into something much more than it really was. Most history books today show the drawing when writing about it. Other events between colonists and troops happened in other places, but you don’t read about them. One reason is that Boston was the center of anti British activists.

So pretty much, the French and their Native American allies fought against Britain, the American colonists, and their Native American allies.

Why was Revolutionary War started?
the revolutionary war was started because of the deal the british made with the native Americans (not to take their land ) the colonists wanted land so they fought back then the king made laws thus making the colonists wanting to become indepdent.
How did the revolution affected the native Americans?
They lost large amounts of land...because the Indians lived in the Midwest near the Ohio river valley which after the American Revolution, we Americans took over that land so therefore, the Native Americans had to adapt to their new enviroment.One of the reasons the war broke out in the first place was because the colonists wanted to expand their territory westward. This was American Indian territory, and the British were allied to American Indian tribes. Not wanting to anger the Indian tribes into cancelling their alliance with the British, the redcoats refused to allow the colonists to steal the land from the American Indians. This is why so many American Indians fought on the British side when war broke out; they saw the British as a people who were defending their land from the colonists.They ended up with an even worse deal than previously.
