Both were Colonial American Acts against the british that lead up to The American Revolution. The Boston Massacre occured when a group of colonials were taunting and throwing rocks at a group of british soldiers in boston. The colonials present were drunk, and one of them walked up to a soldier and hit him with a club. The soldier he hit shot him. After that, the other soldiers started firing. Part of the reson may have been that the colonials were taunting the soldiers to "fire!", and the soldiers may have thought that was a command from their officer. The Boston Tea Party was another act. The colonials were angry with the new British tax on tea, so they dressed up like Native Americans and went aboard British ships and dumped countless of tea chests into Boston Harbor. There is an estimated amount of 350 tea chests dumped into the harbor.
