British troops had been stationed in the Province of Massachusetts Bay since 1768 in order to support Crown-appointed officials and to enforce unpopular legislation implemented by the British Parliament. Two regiments were removed from Boston in 1769, but the 14th and the 29th Regiments of Foot remained.
