The Liberty Affair was an incident that culminated to a riot in 1768, leading to the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770. It involved the illegal British seizure of the Liberty, a ship owned by smuggler and merchant John Hancock.[1] This incident, which showed the difficulties in enforcing the British revenue laws and the growing American resentment against British rule, formed part of the series of events that led to the American Revolution.[2]
