British Troops sent to Boston, by D'khari,Keriyah

In 1768 the British army was sent to Boston colonies because they were in denial about paying taxes. The King (George III) tried to stop the colonists from protesting. And 1,000 troops were sent by England in 1768. The British troops got sent to Boston to supposedly maintain order, "the colonists' actions in response to the Townshend act convinced the British troops in Boston to help maintain order". The Bostonians were angry with the British troops because the British first passed laws that violated colonial rights, then they sent an army to take control of colonial cities. The British presence in Boston directly led to the Boston Massacre, and eventually, war.
