The Boston massacre was caused by the Intolerable Acts that were passed by the British parliament. All the towns people were provoking the red coats. The red coat fired the first shot and soon all the red coats were shooting at the towns people killing and injuring many. This started a huge rebellion and anger to steer around all over the world. March 5, 1770, The crowd had gathered in disagreement over the Stamp Act which taxed all legal or printed documents. There are questions even today over exactly what caused the British soldiers to fire into the crowd.

The relationship between the redcoats and the Boston colonist grew more intense. Ten on March, 1770, the tension finally reached a peak. That day a fight broke out between towns people and soldiers. While some British officers tried to calm the crowd down, one man shouted

"We did not send for you. We will not have you here. We'll get rid of you,

we'll drive you away!"

The angry towns people rebelled. After one of the soldiers were knocked down the nervous confused redcoats fired back, killing five colonist.
