The Quartering Act of 1765 is a great decision by the British. This act requires the colonies to house British soldiers and take care of them. The Quartering Act was forced after the French and Indian War. 10,000 troops were sent to the colonies. These soldiers were sent to the colonies because there was no room in the fort to keep all of these British soldiers.

Specific items needed are bedding, cooking utensils, firewood, beer or cider, and candles. The quartering Act has had an impact on so many lives. This law is a marvelous idea.
