What lead up to the Boston massacre?
The colonists were angry and resentful over the Townshend Acts and the Stamp Act imposed upon them by the British Parliament. They referred to them as the Intolerable Acts. On March 5, 1770, a group of colonists were taunting some of the British soldiers stationed in Boston. After being threatened verbally and having things thrown at them, the British soldiers fired into the crowd killing five people and wounding six others. This incident became known at the Boston Massacre.
Why did the British turn to taxing American colonies?
The actual cost to provide the colonists with protection, infrastructure, and stability was much larger than what they were actually being taxed, and even Englishmen were paying more. They also gathered a huge debt from the French and Indian war and Pontiac's Rebellion (which caused the Proclamation of 1763, because the cost of protection from Indians was too great for British Mercantilistic ideals).

"Lobsterback" is a slang term used by Americans for British soldiers during the American Revolutionary War. I have heard two explanations for this. One is that the red coats worn on by the British resembled the red shells of cooked lobsters. Another is that British soldiers were whipped so frequently by their officers that their backs became scarred. Multiple scars might make their bare backs resemble the segmented shells of lobsters, but I can't imagine that the Patriot army would have seen their enemy shirtless often enough to make this explanation plausible. I believe the red coat theory to be correct. Perhaps British soldiers once called each other lobsterbacks because of scarring, but I suspect not.
