The Quartering Act of 1765 forced the colonies to provide housing and supplies to British soldiers after the French and Indian War. This was a method of regaining control of the colonies for the British.
The Quartering Acts required colonial authorities to provide shelter and food to British troops. The acts were amendments to the Mutiny Act.

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.
