The ten events leading up to the American Revolution were all important to America's eventual freedom from Great Britain. In my opinion, The Boston Massacre was the most important event that led to America no longer loving Great Britain. The anger the colonists felt from being slaughtered by British troops justified starting to revolt against their home country. If the Boston Massacre never happened, it is unlikely the American Revolution would've happened so soon.
