* Boston Massacre:
June 29, 1767 – the British Parliament Passes the Townshend Acts
The heavy presence of British troops in Boston that lead to the fatal shooting was the direct results of the Townshend Acts passed by British Parliament to impose additional taxes on common products imported into the Colonies.
These products among others included paper, glass and tea.

On October 1, 1768 a group of British regulars arrived in Boston, MA to maintain order. The civilians reacted to the redcoats like they were invaders by taunting them through name calling, spitting, and fighting.

March 5, 1770 - The Boston Massacre Occurs
The Twenty-Ninth Regiment came to the relief of the Eighth on duty at the Customs House on King (now State) Street.
The soldiers, led by Captain Thomas Preston, were met by a large and taunting crowd of civilians. Captain Preston was unable to disperse the crowd and as they chanted "Fire and be damned" he ordered his troops "Don't Fire!"
With all the commotion the soldiers probably did not hear his orders and they opened fire on the crowd killing three men instantly and another two who died later.

October 24-30, 1770 - The Trial of Captain Preston
Seven months later, in October of 1770, Captain Preston was tried for murder in a Boston courtroom.
He was defended by John Adams and Robert Auchmuty and assisted by Josiah Quincy Jr. Captain Preston was acquitted by a Boston jury.

November 27 - Dec 14, 1770 - the Trial of the British Soldiers
The eight British soldiers accused of murder were tried separately from their officer Captain Preston.
But just like the Preston’s trial the proceedings were delayed by 8 months after the incident to allow emotions to cool down.
As a result of the trial, six soldiers were acquitted on the grounds of self-defense, but two were found guilty of murder because of the overpowering proof that they fired into the crowd.

* Boston Tea Party:
In May, 1773, Parliament gave money to the British East India Company so they could lower their tea prices. The Americans got mad because the British East India Company would trade only with pro-British merchants.

In September and October 1773, seven ships carrying East India Company tea were sent to the colonies: four were bound for Boston, and one each for New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston.

On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor.

In February, 1775, Britain passed the Conciliatory Resolution which ended taxation for any colony which satisfactorily provided for the imperial defense and the upkeep of imperial officers.
The Tea Act was repealed with the Taxation of Colonies Act 1778.
