Colonists were mad and didn't do anything good
The Boston Massacre is one of most important events that turned colonial sentiment against King George III and British acts and taxes. Each of these events followed a pattern of Britain asserting its control, and the colonists chafing under the increased regulation. Events such as the Tea Act and the ensuing Boston Tea Party were further examples of the crumbling relationship between Britain and the colonies. While it took five years from the Massacre to outright revolution, it foreshadowed the violent rebellion to come. It also demonstrated how British authority galvanized colonial opposition and protest.
The Boston Massacre was the killing of five colonists by British soldiers on March 5, 1770. It was the culmination of civilian-military tensions that had been growing since royal troops first appeared in Massachusetts in October 1768 to enforce the heavy tax burden imposed by the Townshend Acts. The British were acquited of any wrong doing having no Bostonians in the jury. This rose the tensions towards the British troops. In six more years the nation became independent.
The Boston massacre affected the English colonies in a way that you wouldn't even think of........ It affected the colonies by sort of threatening them, by having soldiers come to the English colonies, and forcing them to move. On the other hand, the colonist did do their part in threatening the soldiers also. They were trying to influence the soldiers to shoot.

Colonists in 1770 would likely have reacted with outrage and indignation upon viewing a depiction of the Boston Massacre. The portrayal of British soldiers firing on unarmed civilians would have intensified anti-British sentiments, reinforcing the perception of British oppression. This imagery would serve as a rallying point for colonial resistance, galvanizing support for the burgeoning independence movement and fostering unity among the colonies against British rule. The emotional impact of such depictions would have been crucial in shaping public opinion and mobilizing action against colonial authorities.

It added to the Colonists taxes.
In response to the colonists' boycott of the Townshend Acts, the British government intensified its enforcement measures, deploying more troops to maintain order and suppress dissent in the colonies. They viewed the boycotts as a challenge to their authority and attempted to counteract the economic impact by promoting British goods and enforcing penalties against merchants who complied with the boycotts. Tensions escalated further, ultimately contributing to the unrest that led to events like the Boston Massacre in 1770.

Thomas Paine's Common Sense inspired colonists because it talked about opportunities for the common man.
