The Boston Massacre was an incident where colonists clashed with British soldiers and five colonists died as a result. It occurred on March 5, 1770, when tensions between British troops stationed in Boston and local colonists escalated into violence, resulting in the soldiers firing into a crowd and killing several individuals. This event became a significant point of contention and propaganda for the American colonists in their growing dissent against British rule.
