This was the first time foreign invaders occupied Washington D.C. President Madison fled to Brookesville during the occupation. Later a storm and tornado came into Washington that killed British troops and American civilians.

Charra [1.4K]

The injustice of illegal quartering during the Revolutionary War led to the passage of the Third Amendment to the Constitution which states that: "No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."

Americans, still upset at the quartering of soldiers in their homes, wanted to ensure that future Americans would never have to endure the same again.

11. What was a goal of the First Continental

kiruha [24]

The First Continental Congress (1774) took place in Massachusetts and brought together delegates from 12 of the 13 colonies to discuss recent British acts. Despite a few individuals who were in favor of a war for independence on Great Britain, the main goal of the Congress was to find a solution to conflicts with the motherland (B).

By that time most delegates still believed to be possible some sort of agreement or reconciliation with Great Britain that recognized the colonies as part of the motherland but with its own rights. Many debates during the Congress were about how the relation between colonies and Great Britain should be, and until what point 1) British Parliament authority should be accepted here and 2) British Constitution ascertained colonies’ rights.
