The Quartering Act

     In 1754 The French and Indian War started. In the result British soldiers were moving a lot in the colonies. In 1763 the war ended. Since the British soldiers were still in the colonies the king decided to make the colonists give the British soldiers food, shelter, water, and transportation. This was called The Quartering Act. The colonists didn't like this Act because it meant giving these things to British soldiers even if they didn't have enough food or water for their family.
