After the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770, the colonies organized a series of responses to the growing tension between Britain and the American colonies. One significant response was the establishment of **Committees of Correspondence**. These committees were created to facilitate communication and coordinate resistance against British policies, particularly in response to the oppressive measures that followed the Massacre, such as the Townshend Acts.
The **Townshend Acts**, imposed in 1767, were a series of taxes on various goods imported into the colonies, which contributed to rising tensions but were not created directly in response to the Boston Massacre.
The **Boston Tea Party**, which took place in December 1773, was a protest against the Tea Act, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the colonies. This event was not a celebration but rather a direct action against taxation without representation.
The **Intolerable Acts** were enacted in 1774 as a response to the Boston Tea Party and aimed to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance. They were not a response to the Boston Massacre but rather a culmination of colonial resistance against British rule.
In summary, the most accurate choice connected to the Boston Massacre is the establishment of Committees of Correspondence, as they were formed to respond to the growing dispute with Britain following the incident.
