Answer: Formed armed militias.

Step-by-step explanation:

In response to growing hostilities between the British and the American colonists, the British army took over Boston and in 1775 attempted to take over military stores and arrest some people in Massachusetts.

New England (the region Massachusetts is part of) colonists then formed armed militias in response and chased the British all the way back to the Charlestown area of Boston and began the siege of Boston which was effectively the beginning of the American Revolution.
