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: -The Quartering Act stated that Great Britain would house its soldiers in American barracks and public houses. And if the soldiers outnumbered colonial housing, they would be quartered in inns, alehouses, barns, other buildings, etc.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Quartering Act specified the conditions for the lodging of British troops in all of colonial North America.
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.
