In my opinion, out of the acts that we studied, I would have to choose that the quartering act was the harshest. Because it made the colonists house, shelter, supply and feed the enemy soldiers for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Even if they struggled to feed their own children a small bowl of peas one meal a day. And then now they have to feed a thirty-something man that requires three BIG bowls of peas a DAY. And, if they can barely afford two bedrooms, one for the parents, and one for their kids, they have to change that to one for the soldier,and one for everybody else. Also, if they work their tails off to pay their so many taxes for five, they have to EXTRA for that smelly soldier.

I think it was so important to the colonists because it meant that they were free from the British.And, that they could have their own government in which they could have a say, this is quite the opposite of the British, who had taxed over and over again. I think this is important because if your teacher would give you a bad grade on something you should’ve had a great grade on, it’s just unfair.
