How did Britain respond to the Boston massacres?

In response to the Boston Massacre in 1770, Britain sought to quell colonial unrest by repealing many of the Townshend Acts, which had imposed tariffs on imported goods. However, tensions remained high, and the British government maintained a military presence in Boston to enforce order. The incident fueled anti-British sentiment and became a rallying point for colonial resistance, ultimately contributing to the growing desire for independence. The British response was seen as insufficient to address the underlying grievances of the colonists, further escalating the conflict.
