How did the Quartering Act affect the colonists?

Answer 1

The British further angered American colonists with the Quartering Act, which required the colonies to provide barracks and supplies to British troops. The Quartering Act was passed in June 2, 1765, against the wishes of the colonist. The Quartering Act was an indirect tax for the colonist. Under the law, the colonist had to give quarters, food, and transportation to the British soldiers. The British forced the colonist to accept it because they were protecting the colonists from the French. The colonists did not consider the French a threat and did not like the idea of paying for the British protection.

Answer 2

The Quartering Acts of 1765 and 1774, were laws passed by Parliament that made it mandatory for colonists to provide housing and food for British troops. Lt. General Thomas Gage found it difficult to get colonists to accommodate British soldiers assigned to the area during the French and Indian War. It was aimed at Parliament seizing control of the colonies.

Answer 3

In the Quartering act king George the third sent out soldiers to protect the colonist from the native Americans. But there were two different kinds of people the patriots and the loyalist. Loyalist are people who were loyal to the king and patriots were the people who didn't like the kings words. Well back to the subject. Whenever the soldier came from a longs day work the soldier would knock on a door and the colonist would invite him in and whenever a soldier would ask for a meal then the colonist would have to provide it for the soldier. But whatever the soldier did the colonist could not ask for money.

Answer 4

It forced the local governments of the American colonies to provide the British soldiers with any needed accommodations or housing. It also required colonists to provide food for any British soldiers in the area.

It was stated in the Declaration of Independence as one of the justifications for declaring independence.

..."He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power"....

... "For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:..."

Memory of it also was the motivation for the Third Amendment to the US Constitution (in the Bill of Rights)

"No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."
