How were the Boston massacre and the Boston tea party significant to the colonist?

Yes, because the people of the Boston Tea Party were angry at the British government after the Tea Act. +++ Yes because Boston was British at the time, and a very lawless place whose less charming inhabitants included a gang of hireable thugs who called themselves ironically the Liberty Boys! This was before American Independence; the so-called Tea Party were actually tea smugglers and their real gripe was with the genuine tea traders and the Government forming an arrangement to undermine the smuggling. Tea was costly then, and taxed, so attractive to smugglers.
