The Billeting Act was an Act passed by Parliament in 1756 that required "accommodations in private homes, as well as in barracks and taverns" (Nicholas Varga, Restraining Act: Its Passage and Some Effects, 1766-1768, Pg. 234). In 1754, Parliament extended the Mutiny Act to the Colonies in order to force the Colonists into assisting British troops for their protection from the dangers of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The Billeting Act was another Act by Parliament that would accomplish their military needs via the help of the Colonists' shelters. The fact that the Colonists were required to quarter British soldiers in their private homes, if necessary, was found absurd, and was met with great resistance.
