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.

Who killed the people in the Boston massacre?
It was the English. The English troops were marching through the town. No one today is quite sure how it really went. The English troops reported that the townspeople were getting very rowdy. The townspeople said that the English troops simply opened fire. Whatever provoked the cause, the British did open fire, and the six fatalities that were caused were never forgiven until the very end of the war.

What unites the Stamp Act the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party?
All were related to British Taxes. The stamp act was and is a tax. New York still has it. The Boston Massacre happened because high taxes put a lot of people out of work just like in New York today. People out of work blamed solders (revenuers) enforcing the tax laws. They threw stones at them (Infitada). The solders shot them. The Boston Tea Party occurred because the colonists opposed a tax on tea and would not let a ship unload its tea until the tax was repealed. Tea is not taxed specifically except in places that have sales tax.

How did the Boston massacre become one of the causes of the American revolution?
It didn't become a cause, but was a means for propaganda. The massacre happened in 1770 and the war began in 1776, so it wasn't a factor in the war. Actually, there were other events between soldiers and colonists that were worse than Boston, but Revere drew a picture ( seen in history books today) that showed troops shooting colonists. This was not the reality of the event and in the trial that followed John Adams defended the soldiers that were involved. The History Channel has a good program on the massacre that uses current modern tools to prove the story we think we know is not true.
Did the tea party end the Boston massacre?
No. They were two separate events at two different times. Neither had anything to do with the other. (wrong: the Boston tea party was because the British taxed the English tea and the Boston massacre was because soldiers and colonists were fighting over jobs and so the colonists were throwing bricks in snow and the British opened fire to what is believed to be today as accident - they're connected but I forget why, ask my middle school History teacher)
