Before the formal start of the American Revolutionary War, events such as the Boston Massacre contributed to the escalation of hostile sentiments especially among the colonists. The opinion of British soldiers involved in the Massacre (or any of the other pre-war confrontations) would most likely have been approving, as British opinion of the colonists was generally negative, even contemptuous. It is possible that some few British soldiers were apathetic or even sympathetic toward the welfare of the colonists affected by the Massacre.

Boston Massacrea riot in Boston (March 5, 1770) arising from the resentment of Boston colonists toward British troops quartered in the city, in which the troops fired on the mob and killed several persons.
{| |- | An engraving of the incident received much publication. And the image it portrayed of British Soldiers firing on unarmed Colonists was pretty vivid. It inflamed those that lived in the colonies at the time. Much of it was the journalistic slant given it by the Colonial Press. |}
He taxed the colonists which led to the Boston Tea Party, and he created the Quartering Act.
It was a minor incident that was exploited to paint the British as violent oppressors, a simple propoganda ploy. The Boston Massacre was a mob of colonists provocing British soldiers because of the ridiculous taxes being forced on the colonies, but it was never meant to paint the British in a bad light; they did that themselves. And it realy doesn't matter if it was an attempt to make them look bad because they only shot five colonists.
Paul Revere was a silversmith (a person who melts, carves, and welds silver), in the times of the Revolutionary War. On account of the Boston Massacre, he carved a scene depicting the Boston Massacre as a merciless slaughter of colonists by the British troops, not an accident egged on by colonists throwing objects and unseen by the soldiers in the dead of night. He inspired many to become Patriots or at least agree with the idea of independence. Also, he rode on horseback before the Battle of Lexington and Concord when the British soldiers marched toward Concord to take away a rumored stash of weapons there, to warn the citizens of both Lexington and Concord of the incoming soldiers and ready the minutemen (citizens who fought as soldiers for the colonies' independence and could be ready to fight within a minute's notice) in both those towns.
Colonists were a people separate from Britain. For Apex.

This act frustrated American colonists more, as they were forced to quarter British troops in their homes against their will. (This helped push the colonies toward revolution.) Also, in the Bill of Rights, the third amendment is that you do not have to quarter troops in your house (in peacetime at least), which was probably added in, at least in part, because of this act. ^ This was the second quartering act that was imposed during 1774. The first quartering act, in 1765, only required people to pay for the lodging and supplies of the soldiers, as it was seen as their duty because the soldiers were there to protect them. The people did not complain heavily about this, at least, not until the second act, because it was intruding on their private lives.
