The quartering act was a chance for british soldiers to stay in a
colonists home and be pampered with what ever the soldier needed.

and the colonists were nervous. It was called the Tea act.

The british thought lowering the tea price was enough to fool the colonists
But, the colonists were not fooled.

The Intolerable acts
Due to dumping more than 90,000 pounds of tea the british government passed
down a new series of laws these laws were called the Intolerable Acts.

These sets of laws punished colonists for dumping the tea and believe
me when I say the punishments were horrible.
