The colonists were worried about a lot of events. One of those was the Boston Massacre, in which a small snowball fight turned into an armed confrontation where many were injured and five were killed. The colonists were concerned about this issue because not only create a huge disturbance, but the nonimportation movement was collapsing as well. I think that if a new American government were formed, they would immediately send away all of the British troops. Then, I think they would try to figure out which people started the injustice. Finally, I think they would help the people who were injured and help the five families of the people that were killed.
