As the result of a conflict between British troops and a colonial militia in Massachusetts, Thomas Paine published Common Sense.

Explanation: Thomas Paine was a political activist born in England. He arrived to America in November 1774, that is to say after the British troops and a colonial militia fought in the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which took place in Massachussets. Moreover, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, one of the first military conflicts between the colonizers and the colonists, pushed Thomas Paine to write and publish Common Sense. In this pamphlet, Paine argued that the American colonies not only had to fight against unfair taxation, but they also had to fight for independence from the British Empire.

British troops began staying in the homes of colonists.

The conflict between British troops and colonial militia in Massachusetts led to the Intolerable Acts.

The Intolerable Acts included a Quartering Act, which required Massachusetts citizens to house soldiers. Though this was common place, it meant a military occupation of the colony. The restrictions following the Boston Massacre and other violent conflicts in the colony left Massachusetts as the most restricted colony of the thirteen.
