The siege against British troops at Boston
British troops were sent to Boston after the Townshend Acts to enforce the new taxes and maintain order amid rising tensions between colonists and British authorities. The Acts, which imposed duties on various imported goods, sparked widespread protests and resistance from colonists who viewed them as an infringement on their rights. The presence of troops aimed to assert British control and quell any potential unrest, but it ultimately exacerbated hostilities, leading to events like the Boston Massacre in 1770.
