The British soldiers were required to provide housing and accommodations for themselves, as mandated by the Quartering Act. This law compelled colonial governments to supply barracks or, if necessary, private homes for British troops stationed in the colonies. Additionally, soldiers needed to be provided with food and other supplies, placing a financial burden on local colonists. This act fueled resentment and contributed to the growing tensions between Britain and the American colonies.
The colonists despised the Quartering Act. Parliament decreed that solders would be quartered in empty houses and warehouses. The solders declared houses empty even if people lived in them. The people living in the houses were forced to feed the solders even though the solders did not pay rent. The difference between the law Parliament wrote and its application caused great bitterness.
