The Boston Massacre was a skirmish on March 5, 1770, between British troops and a crowd in Boston. After provocation (throwing snow/ice balls) by the colonists, British soldiers fired on the mob and killed five men. This event contributed to the unpopularity of the British in the years leading up to the American Revolution.
