5.+Quartering+Act

=Quartering Act (1765)=

On March 24, 1765, Parliament passed the Quartering Act, which required the colonists to provide barracks to house British soldiers. If there was not room in the barracks for all of the soldiers, then they were to be accommodated in local inns, livery stables, ale houses, victualing houses, and the houses of sellers of wine. If all public building were occupied, the soldiers would stay in any unoccupied building. The Americans were also to provide the soldiers with necessities such as food, liquor, salt and bedding without any sort of compensation.

Colonists' Reactions
They disliked being forced to accommodate the soldiers, so they refused to comply with the law. The New York Restraining Act took power away from the governor of New York until New Yorkers agreed to accommodate the soldiers.

=Quartering Act (1774)=

This act, passed on June 2, 1774, elaborated upon the previous Quartering Act, forcing Americans to house soldiers not only in public buildings, but in private homes as well.
