"Quartering troops" is a term that was used in the Eighteenth Century meaning providing adequate housing for British soldiers. This was used in a series of Acts by Parliament to attempt to retain control over the American colonies. While it was a requirement for some time to provide shelter and provisions to British soldiers, the laws were often disregarded.
