Was declared. If my New England history isn't too weak I recall that the Boston Massacre was possibly the pivotal event that lead to the Revolutionary war.. however leading up to this event.

Tempers over taxation had erupted and in February of 1770 colonists , if I recall correctly, tried to tar and feather Ebenezer Richardson, a British customs officer. As the crowd pelted him with things and chased him to his house he made it insired and and fired a type of scatter gun out his window and an 11 year old boy in crowd was wounded and eventually died.
This enraged a lot of the colonists. Another issue was that British soldiers were under paid and were competing for and taking the limited number of available jobs to supplement their incomes . There were also few women and they were competing against the male colonists for them too.
The tensions lead to the Boston Massacre that arguably was a drunken protest turn provocation of a small number, 6 or 7 of British soldiers who were on duty that night that were overwhelmed by a large crowd of drunken patriots that had just left the taverns after closing.

Despite orders not to shoot one of the soldiers fired his rifle followed by several other soldiers firing theirs and a number of colonists were killed.
