to attack rebel troops
Stationing Britsh troops in America was related to the British taxation of the colonists because it was very costly to get the troops there and to support them. So, Britain needed another source of revenue to support their troops, and the best source they could find was the money the colonists had. So Britain taxed the colonists with various taxes such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Act in order to aquire a new source of revenue in order to fund their troops presence in the colonies.

The fatal incident happened on March 5 of 1770. The massacre resulted in the death of five colonists. British troops in the Massachusetts Bay Colony were there to stop demonstrations against the Townshend Acts and keep order, but instead they provoked outrage.
The British passed the Quartering Act to pay for the expenses of housing and feeding British troops before the American Revolution.

In April of 1775, British troops marched on the town of Concord (Massachusetts) in order to capture arms which they believed were hidden there. Nonverbal orders to the British commander seem also to have included the capture of rebel leaders who might be residing in or around the same town. In their search of the town, the British did find a small cache of arms, but they were soon forced to fall back towards Boston after facing superior numbers (and fire) from colonial militia troops.
The British so no need to pay for the cost of having their troops in a country because they believed that their troops were instrumental in bringing Law and Order to the place.

General Thomas Gage became the new governor of Massachusetts. The British hoped that these steps would bring back order in the colonies. Boycotting taxed products deprived the Crown of the intended revenue.

The British, who had made war for 3 years, were unable to win against the Germans, et al. They began pleading more and more for the US to send American troops. This finally led to the peaceful President Wilson to order General Pershing and his troops to Europe to help the British. The British wanted the American troops to fight from the trenches to replace British soldiers who died or who were disable. Pershing, clever man that he was, refused to relinquish his men to trench warfare, which was going nowhere, and would never win the war. He sent his troops out in brilliant movements to move into German territory and to attack the Germans troops directly. THIS plan worked, and the war ended about a year later.
