Paul Revere encouraged anti-British attitudes by etching a now-famous engraving depicting British soldiers callously murdering American colonists. It showed the British as the instigators though the colonists had started the fight. Another historical figure was Christopher Seider. He was an 11 year old boy who was shot while in the backyard of Ebenezer Richardson. He is considered to be the first American killed in the American Revolution.

The Boston Massacre occurred on March 5, 1770. This event was a riot that took place on King Street in Boston. It began as a street brawl between American colonists and a lone British soldier, but quickly escalated to a chaotic, bloody slaughter. It resulted in 5 dead men leading the soldiers and colonists to a trial. The jury pronounced the men and captain not guilty of the deaths.The conflict energized anti-British sentiment and paved the way for the American Revolution.

The Intolerable Acts are a series of four laws passed by the British Parliament to punish the colony of Massachusetts Bay for the Boston Tea Party. All four of the acts being, the Boston Port Act, the Massachusetts Government Act, the Administration of Justice Act, and the Quartering Act. These acts were meant to punish Massachusetts to try and get them away from the other colonies. However, this act came too late and, rather surpress the colonies.

The only act of the four to apply to all of the colonies, it allowed high-ranking military officials to demand better accommodations for troops and to refuse inconvenient locations for quarters. This made a big difference, since it applied to all colonies.

But, in May 1773, parliament gave the East India company a tea monopoly in America that also made British tea much cheaper than smuggled tea. The strong hostility had been producing among the American colonists for months. In October 16, 1773, a group of Philadelphia patriots decided to tell the British Crown that it would mount a boycott of tea, months before a similar act in Boston.
