British soldiers were sent to america to enforce to proclamation and to maintain order of the new taxes they had put in place for the american colonies for tea glass paper paint and lead. Their presence at that moment didn't make things better. If anything, it made them worse.
The “massacre” started off by just a few boys throwing snowballs at the british soldiers which attracted a crowd throwing ice and making fun of them. The british fired wildly and that's when the killing happened and this is what caused it to become the Boston massacre.
