What was the significance of the Boston massacre was it that it marked the start of the American revolution or it increased tensions between American colonists and England or brought temporary end to the colonial protest or it led England to close the port of Boston

The significance of the Boston Massacre was that it increased tensions between American colonists and England. The event, in which British soldiers fired on a crowd of colonists, resulted in the deaths of five people and sparked outrage among the colonists. This incident further fueled anti-British sentiment and contributed to the growing divide between the American colonists and the British government, ultimately leading to the American Revolution. The Boston Massacre did not bring a temporary end to colonial protests, nor did it lead England to close the port of Boston.
