The Act that is being described is the Quartering Act, which was passed by the Parliament of Great Britain on May 15, 1765, at the request of Lieutenant-General Thomas Gage, commander-in-chief of forces in British North America. By this act of the Parliament, the local governments of the American colonies were forced to offer housing and provisions to British soldiers that had fought in the French and Indian War (1754-1763). If barracks and public houses were not enough to house the soldiers, they would be quartered in other places, such as inns, as well as in the houses of people that sold alcoholic drinks, and colonists must pay for their expenses.
A second Quartering Act was passed a few years later, in June of 1774, but it did not require that troops be supplied with provisions, and a mutual agreement between the parties involved was necessary before proceeding to house the soldiers.
Answer:
Tenements
Explanation:
During the late 1800s, millions of people emigrated to the United States, especially from Europe, but also a few from Asia and Latin America. American born population also grew by high rates due to high fertility rates, and falling mortality rates.
This brought massive population growth to American cities, and to keep with this demand, large tenements were built.
In these tenements, dozens of families shared the same building, often in small apartments of low quality and low sanitation. Sometimes epidemics ran through, and social conflicts were also common.
The McCarthy Era was one of the darkest periods in U.S.
history. The government was so intent on
flushing out communism that they disregarded the rights of its citizens. It was a terrible time to be different or
speak against the government. Those who
did were already put under suspicion.
Many who were put on the blacklist during that time suffered a lot. Some lost their careers while others were
imprisoned over hyped-up charges. If
there was anything we need to learn is that we need to protect our freedoms of
speech, the right to fair trial and the right not to be subjected to unlawful
arrest.
