mar 24, 1765 - The Quartering Act

Description:

This was an act that sent British troops to the colonies and the colonist had to give the troops food, supplies, and shelter. The British did this so they could protect the colonies. The colonist didn't like this because the act violated their right to not have a standing army during peace time, and some colonist refused to provide food and supplies to the troops while other colonies refused to allow the ships with troops to enter their docks. This showed the British that the colonies don't want them and they will do what they want.
