Quartering act By Faith

The quartering act was an event in 1765 when British colonist were forced to care for soldiers and let them stay in their homes. The reason the government passed this law is because the government wanted to protect colonist after the french and Indian war. The government was afraid that native Americans or Spanish settlers would attach the colonies. The quartering act also made colonist provide soldiers with candles, fuel, and transportation. The colonist did not like having soldiers live in their home even if it was for their own safety. Many colonist were angry about the quartering act. They didn't want to pay for soldiers to live in their homes. Since many colonist disliked the quartering act they treated the soldiers badly and made fun of them.
