The Quartering Acts

The Quartering Act was an act that stated that colonists had to provied housing, a bed, candles, drinks, and anything else needed to a British Soldier.

The Quartering Act, and the Townshend acts both led to the famous Boston Massacre. The Boston Massacre wasn't even a huge Massacre, only 5 people were killed but many were wounded. It was March 5, 1770 and a crowd of angry Patriots were gathered outside the Boston Offical's house and snowballs and ice chunks were being thrown at British Troops. A Redcoat named Hugh White was the first soldier to fire into the crowd. Five people died, the firs men to die was Samuel Maverick and Crispus Attucks
