The Townshed Act and the Boston Massacre

In 1767, the British Parliament passed the "townspeople law". This is one way to earn more income with excessive taxation on settlers. The Townshend Act was founded by a character named Charles Townshend. The law imposes tax on items such as petroleum, paint, glass, lead, paper, tea etc. Merchants in Boston began boycotting items in the UK, and settlers were angered that they would be taxed again and felt it to be an unjust tax ("Townsend Act"). So they decided to make a riot. In the summer of 1768, the customs brought up a revolt, colonists set off their officials and headed for a British warship.

The following year, declarations and town banknotes were passed, and more protest groups were formed with the "observation" group of the community and confirmed that the products in the UK were not purchased or sold. Because of the taxation of tea, the "bill of the town" influenced Boston shipper, in particular, the British army was taken to Boston. Tension is intensifying, and on 5 March 770 the hostility between settlers and British soldiers was killed in a riot called Boston Massacre.

On March 5, 1770, a case involving the British shooting against colonists occurred in Boston. People call this a Holocaust, but they focus only on one aspect of the story. Boston massacre of 1770 was not a real massacre but a mutual riot (Boston Holocaust Historical Society). British soldiers visited the United States to maintain Boston people's order. However, the existence of soldiers there was not welcomed by the Boston people who exacerbated things (Boston Holocaust Historical Society). British troops had to fire after the Boston men had killed five people fighting soldiers. Since the Boston people made them feel intimidating the soldiers, they caused self-defense behaviors in turn. British soldiers and their captains had to undergo a trial to prove that they should not be held responsible for what happened.

After the Township Bill was protested, British troops stationed in Boston since 1768. Because of the civil war in the city, British coats were ordered to be sent to Boston. According to the "four-point bill", the Boston massacre was the culmination of a series of arguments that local workers and crew members collided in Boston. The story of the Boston Massacre was widely published, which contributed to the unpopularity of the British regime in the United States and played an important role in the events leading to the American Revolution, including the 1773 tea law, which went to Boston on December 16.
