Quartering Act

The "Quartering Act" was a tax issued after the Stamp Act by the English Parliament in 1765. The tax issued British troops to depart to the colonies and two to four red coat soldiers were to be housed, fed, and given beer by the colonists as protection, but the main reason to make sure they didn't commit an act of treason or try to slip by the Proclamation of 1763. Some of the colonists at first refused to let any of the soldiers in and locked them out. In Boston, a British band sat in the park and played their bugels and drums and played extremely loud in the morning and evening. Some of the British troops didn't want to be there either, and complained they'd rather be doing worse jobs than being in some city with provoking citizens. The Quartering Act was one of the failures by the British and was a road to the Revolution. Following it was the Stamp Act, which aggrevated the colonists even more.
