The Boston Massacre, which occurred on March 5, 1770, was primarily fueled by rising tensions between American colonists and British soldiers stationed in Boston. The conflict stemmed from colonial resentment towards British taxation and military presence, leading to confrontations between locals and troops. A confrontation escalated when a crowd began harassing British soldiers, resulting in the soldiers firing into the crowd and killing five colonists. This incident intensified anti-British sentiment and became a pivotal moment in the lead-up to the American Revolution.
