Best Answer

The colonists were angry and resentful over the Townshend Acts and the Stamp Act imposed upon them by the British Parliament. They referred to them as the Intolerable Acts. On March 5, 1770, a group of colonists were taunting some of the British soldiers stationed in Boston. After being threatened verbally and having things thrown at them, the British soldiers fired into the crowd killing five people and wounding six others. This incident became known at the Boston Massacre.
