The Boston Massacre, a clash between working-class people in Boston and British troops, ignites colonial resentment to a new level of intensity. Although the next few years appear relatively calm, resistance is building below the surface. A number of groups, like the Scotch Irish and Germans do not identify with the British. The fact that the American economy and population are growing quickly means that the colonies cannot be easily corralled within the British economic system. When Bostonians dump tea in the Boston Harbor rather than pay a tax on it, the British close down the Boston Harbor, abolish the Massachusetts Second Charter of 1691 and impose a conventional Royal Government.
