Answer:

The king's actions were wrong, he should have made the soldiers pay rent, however, the king was furious with the tea party made by the settlers and then abused the settlers as punishment.

Explanation:

The British government was furious when it learned of the Tea Party (tea boxes belonging to the East India Company were thrown from ships in Boston by Americans disguised as Mohawk Indians). In a set of measures called Intolerable Acts, passed in 1774, the British government ordered the closure of Boston Harbor, gave extra powers to the governor of Massachusetts, and forced the American settlers to shelter and feed British soldiers.
