The Boston Massacre was a battle between Britain and American colonists.
The king of England referred to the conduct of the colonists who fought against British rule as "rebellion." He viewed their actions as a challenge to royal authority and a violation of the established governance. This characterization was part of the broader context of the American Revolutionary War, where the colonists sought independence from British control.
From the British point of view, it was only right that American colonists should pay, Indians, western lands, colonial trade, navigation.
Prior to and during the American Revolution, the name typically used by the British to denote the colonists on the North American continent was in fact 'American.' The term was not positive, as it was intended as yet one more way of distinguishing the colonists as different from (and lesser than) full British citizens. The colonists themselves were often disinclined to use the term to describe themselves given its disparaging meaning at the time.
