Revolutionary Cause #2 - Quartering Act

The Quartering Act forced colonists to allow British troops to live in their homes. This allowed the British to save money on food and lodging for their troops. Yet, it also allowed the troops to see if there was anything unusual going on in the colonies. Colonists had to pay for the food and give up at least one room as a result and they had no real choice in the mattering.

1. Why did the British pass the Quartering Act?
2. How did the colonists feel about the Quartering Act?
3. Why would this lead to a revolution?
