The+Quartering+Act

The first Quartering Act took place in 1765 and made all the colonists provide daily needs to the British troops placed in North America. In the second Quartering Act they had to let the British soldiers stay in their house for as long as the soldiers wanted/needed to, they had to feed the soldiers and provide the soldiers with transportation. The soldiers did not have to pay the colonists or give them anything in return. Also, the colonists had no choice; they had to let the soldiers stay with them and provide them with all their daily necessities. By: Delia || ||   || The British Parliament enforced the Quartering Acts to demonstrate their authority. However there were other reasons for creating the Quartering Act They created the first Quartering Act because they were scared that the French and Indian were going to attack so they kept soldiers in America. However colonists would not provide living quarters for the armies so the British parliament enforced that they needed to provide and care for them in places such as inns or warehouses. The second Quartering Act was part of the Intolerable Acts. The Intolerable Acts was created because after the Boston Tea Party British felt they needed to regain control because they thought that the colonists now thought that they were in charge. The second Quartering was an extension to the first. Instead of colonists having to care for soldiers in inns or warehouses the soldiers stayed in colonists houses. They did not have to pay and received all the necessities they needed from the colonists. Even though they stayed in houses they also continued to stay in inns and warehouses. By: Lizzie || ||   || Several colonists and their colony's fought back against Britain so that they can get the rights they deserve. The Boston colony reacted by getting together and forcing the workmen to slow down the process of the fixing of buildings that were told to be fixed by Britain and the authorities. These buildings were where suppose to be where the soliders were staying. Because of this, troops had to sleep outside on the common until November 1774. Many other colonies had the same idea and fought against Britain and came up with their own ideas to end this law/act. By: Delia || ||   || ====The colonist’s reactions to the Quartering Acts caused the British to postpone the Acts but later make changes to them. Since the colonists were so mad the British decided that they did not want to deal with the angry colonists. Another reason the British postponed the Quartering Acts was because they wanted to give the colonists a chance to cool off and stop protesting. But they later made changes to them because they wanted to take advantage that the colonists had already calmed down and they wanted to show their authority.====

Even though the main reason for the Boston Tea Party was the Tea Act, The Quartering Act still contributed to the colonists’ retaliation. It was one of the many changes Britain demanded of the colonists and it increased the colonists’ desire for independence. Following the second Quartering Act was the American Revolution. The first Quartering Act was bad for the colonists and they did not like it but the second Quartering Act was worse. It demanded that the soldiers were allowed to stay in the colonist’s houses along with inns, warehouses, and other places. This alone did not create the American Revolution but it was one of the many reasons the colonists decided to fight for their freedom. By:Lizzie || ||   ||
 * **__How did the colonists reaction affect themselves?__** The colonists’ reaction affected themselves; their reaction made them less fond of Britain and it also left them with bitterness inside of themselves. With Britain always adding more taxes to things, the colonists were already pretty fed up with Britain. The Quartering Acts made them even more annoyed with Britain and also made them want to be in charge of their own country; so they wouldn't have to follow Britain in any way. All of their bitterness came from their feelings towards Britain.
