Tensions grew in 1775 as British troops controlled Boston. The British troops controlled Boston because of recent actions taken by the colonists. For example, hundreds of American colonists boarded British East India ships in order to destroy millions of dollars of tea. The goal behind destroying this tea was to show how upset colonists were with the recent passing of the Tea Act.

After this incident, the British government sent in troops to take control of Boston to ensure that they did not do something like this again.
