The Boston Massacre
The Boston Massacre began with a argument between colonists and British troops. Colonists were upset when acts and laws were passed such as the Townshend Acts. And taxation was one of the main reasons why people were angry. The British government had so much authority over the colonists, they had no say so whatsoever.
