In response to the Boston Massacre of 1770, where British soldiers killed five colonists during a confrontation, the British government sought to mitigate tensions by repealing several unpopular taxes, notably the Townshend Acts, except for the tax on tea. They also held trials for the soldiers involved, leading to some being acquitted and others found guilty of lesser charges. The event was used by colonial leaders like Samuel Adams as Propaganda to galvanize anti-British sentiment and unify the colonies against British rule.
