15 mai 1765 - Quartering Act
Description:
The Quartering Act of 1765 was a series of British laws passed in the 1760s, requiring American colonists to provide housing and supplies for British troops stationed in the colonies. This act, which required barracks for soldiers, was met with resistance from American colonists who saw it as an infringement on their rights and an intrusion of British authority. Although the Act was later ineffective, its memory played a role in the American Revolution.Ajouté au bande de temps:
