The Townshend Acts, a series of acts passed, beginning in 1767 were the acts that eventually led to the Boston Massacre. Anger over the Townshend Acts led to the occupation of Boston by British troops in 1768, which eventually resulted in the Boston Massacre of 1770.

The series of events leading to the Boston Massacre began when customs officers, enforcing the Townshend Acts, attempted to seize the ship Liberty, owned by John Hancock, on June 10, 1768, for alleged smuggling. This aggressive action incited anger among local colonists, leading to protests and increased tensions. The situation escalated as British troops were stationed in Boston to maintain order, ultimately culminating in the violent confrontation on March 5, 1770, known as the Boston Massacre.
