What did the colonists have to give to the British?
The Quartering Act of 1765 required the colonies to house British soldiers in barracks provided by the colonies. If the barracks were too small to house all the soldiers, then localities were to accommodate the soldiers in local inns, livery stables, ale houses, victualling houses and the houses of sellers of wine.
What would’ve happened if the British won the American Revolution?
If the colonists had lost the war, there probably wouldn’t be a United States of America, period. A British victory in the Revolution probably would have prevented the colonists from settling into what is now the U.S. Midwest. Additionally, there wouldn’t have been a U.S. war with Mexico in the 1840s, either.
What did the colonists do to the British?
The government treated British citizens in the colonies differently from those at home. It demanded special taxes from the colonists. It also ordered them to feed British troops and let them live in their houses. Britain claimed that the soldiers were in the colonies to protect the people.
What would have happened if the colonists had lost the Revolution?
If the colonists had lost the war, there probably wouldn’t be a United States of America, period. A British victory in the Revolution probably would have prevented the colonists from settling into what is now the U.S. Midwest.
What did the British troops do to the colonists?
They often were rude and disrespectful to the colonists, and the troops were not known to display high standards of moral behavior. The presence of British troops in the colonies helped stoke the anti-British flames that were growing in the colonies and eventually led to the start of the Revolutionary War.
What happens if the British had prevented the American Revolution?
If the British had thwarted the American Revolution, the consequences for America might have been terrifyingly harsh. After all, during the war, the British Army demonstrated a penchant for brutality.
