The Battle of Lexington and Concord on 19 April 1775, is the first "major" battle in the revolutionary war. but what really started it was the tea, stamp, sugar, quartering, and intolerable acts. another reason could me no taxation without representation. and not allowing the colonist to be independent when they asked to. all of that was from a colonist point of view.

Why did Britain pass the Quartering Act?

The British were sending thousands of troops over to the colonies, and they needed somewhere to stay. It was cheaper to have the British live in the houses of the colonists, and King George could keep an eye on what they - the colonists - were doing.


How did the Quartering Act affect the colonists?

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.
