The Boston Massacre began as a confrontation between colonists and British soldiers stationed in Boston, who were seen as oppressive enforcers of British taxation. Tensions had been escalating due to resentment over the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, which imposed taxes without colonial representation. On March 5, 1770, a group of colonists began taunting and throwing snowballs at the soldiers, leading to a chaotic situation where the soldiers fired into the crowd, resulting in the deaths of five colonists. This incident fueled anti-British sentiments and was used as a rallying point for colonial resistance.
There were a lot of British soldiers in Boston. This led to a tense situation that eventually caused a series of brawls between soldiers and civilians. It eventually led to troops firing their weapons, after being threatened by a rioting crowd.
