The British started the Boston Massacre with a few shots into a crowd to scare them. This started because the people were opposed to new taxes.

I believe the answer is: 2. . The British didn't allow the colonists to settle the Ohio River Valley.

At that time, the British's government influence was really weak across the ohio River valley due to the presence of both the French empire and the native americans. If the colonists settle on that territory, British wouldn't be able to impose the new taxation rules.
