USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Quartering Act of 1765 required the colonies to house British soldiers in barracks provided by the colonies. If the barracks were too small to house all the soldiers, then localities were to accommodate the soldiers in local inns, livery stables, ale houses, victualling houses and the houses of sellers of wine.

Detailed explanation-2: -This new act allowed royal governors, rather than colonial legislatures, to find homes and buildings to quarter or house British soldiers. This only further enraged the colonists by having what appeared to be foreign soldiers boarded in American cities and taking away their authority to keep the soldiers distant.

Detailed explanation-3: -The new Quartering Act, which Parliament passed on June 2, 1774, gave colonial governors the right to requisition unoccupied buildings to house British troops. It applied to all of British America. Read more about the Quartering Act of 1765.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Quartering Act applied to all of the colonies, and sought to create a more effective method of housing British troops in America. In a previous act, the colonies had been required to provide housing for soldiers, but colonial legislatures had been uncooperative in doing so.

Detailed explanation-5: -Unlike the previous Quartering Act of 1765, the Quartering Act of 1774 allowed British troops to be housed in private homes and facilities. This Act was passed as part of the Coercive Acts in the wake of the Boston Tea Party.
