Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Mutiny Act of 1765 required colonists to provision and maintain British troops. This helped to increase tensions between the colonists and the British, as many colonists resented having to provide for the soldiers who they saw as occupying forces. The act did not involve evacuating farms, killing soldiers, forcing colonists into military service, or naval regulations.
