Question

What was expected of the colonists in the new Quartering Act passed as part of the Coercive (Intolerable) Acts in 1774?

Answer 1

I believe it's...the new act demanded that colonists provide living quarters to British Soldiers, even in private homes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Through the Quartering Act, passed on May 15, 1765 by the British Parliament, the British Crown imposed on the settlers the obligation to provide shelter and food to the 10,000 soldiers who arrived from the metropolis, first in barracks and public houses and then directly in their homes.

It was another means by which the crown tried to increase its control over the colonies and impose other measures such as taxes.
