The siege against British troops at Boston
The British withdrew from Boston in 1776 after American troops, led by General Thomas, secured Dorchester Heights with fortifications and cannons. The American forces could hit any British ship in the harbor from this location forcing the British to withdraw.
During the Revolutionary War the British were sent to Boston to ensure that the colonists obeyed the ruling against them for the Boston Tea Party. When they were headed back to Boston they were met by General George Washington that ordered his troops to point their cannons at the British and demanded that they leave.
The Boston Massacre
The British sent troops to enforce rule in Boston because of many problems in Boston like the revolutionists. Sending the soldiers made many civilians in Boston angry. The troops were allowed to stay at peoples homes. So sending troops in to Boston made people more angry.

The Boston massacre was not a battle or a war. It was a street fight between British troops and future Americans. There are two interpertations of the massacre, one is the British side which said that the future US citizens had attacked, the other is the American side which says that the British troops attacked the people on the street. So there was no general leading the way, this was one of the events that led up to the reveloutnary war.
