The Red Coats and the British were basically the ones who were fighting in the Massacre. They started fighting because a young boy shouted an insult at a British Officer.

On December 16th, 3 Tea Ships had arrived in Boston. A group of colonists led by Paul Revere and Samuel Adams, dressed up as Indians and got on the ships to throw tea off the ship. Right before they did this Samuel Adams said "We cannot afford to give a single inch, if we retreat now everything we have done becomes useless!" They threw off the tea because the Gov. Thomas Hutchinson would not send the tea back to England, so basically the group of colonists did it for him. As a result the people that had dumped the tea threw away millions of dollars and till that day was called the Boston Tea Party.
