It was the Quartering act made by the british soldiers. It allowed them to stay in your home and eat your food without payment.
the quartering act was caused by king geore lll. He told his british soldiers to go to random peoples houses and stay in there for food and shelter.
With the end of the French and Indian War, the British decided to maintain a larger troop deployment in North America. The problem was the cost. One of the solutions to keep down that cost was to expect the colonies to provide quarters for the soldiers. As a result, the "Quartering Act", directed the colonies to construct sufficient barracks for the troops. It further stated that if there was not sufficient space for the solidiersin the barracks, then local inn keepers would have to put up soldiers and provide them with their basic needs. The act further stated also that soldiers would be put up in unused barns, outhouses and empty houses.The colonists objected to the Quartering Act for a number of reasons. First and foremost was the cost. Creating barracks and putting up the troops was an expensive measure that the colonies were loathe to undertake. Second, the Quartering Act was indicative of a policy Americans did not support; having a large standing army in the colonies. The colonists preferred having strong militia to deal with problems and not have a large army present.The strongest opponents of the Quartering Act came from New York. In early 1766, the New York Assembly refused to pay for the amount requested by the British Army to create barracks for their soldiers. A protracted dispute developed and in October. The New York assembly was suspended until it agreed to pay for the creation of barracks of the British soldiers. The Quartering Act was eventually repealed. However, while in force, it created a great deal of resentment from the colonists.CloseStyle:MLAAPAChicago< span=""> style="border:0px currentColor;"id="google_ads_iframe_/8414567/Rectangle_0" height="250" marginHeight="0" src="javascript:"""frameBorder="0" width="300" name="google_ads_iframe_/8414567/Rectangle_0" marginWidth="0" scrolling="no">
No, because if they hadn't then we would have been heavily taxed, we wouldn't be allowed to own firearms to defend ourselves (the bad guys would still have them), and there wouldn't be as much racial tolerance in the United States.

The quartering act is the act that allowed the British soldiers to be quartered, or housed, in the colonist's homes. The colonists also had to feed, give them clothes, and take care of them until they felt that they didn't want or need to stay there anymore.
The British sent troops to enforce rule in Boston because of many problems in Boston like the revolutionists. Sending the soldiers made many civilians in Boston angry. The troops were allowed to stay at peoples homes. So sending troops in to Boston made people more angry.

Because the people did not want soldiers coming in their house and using up their food and supplies.So and amendment was made about it and now we have the right to have no soldiers stay in our homes during any wars!!!:)
Yes they do because if they stay then the soldiers might come in and kill them or burn the house down.
Some colonists were infuriated. Others accepted this act, and let the British soldiers stay in their houses.
