The statement is true; the Quartering Act of 1765 required colonists to provide food and housing for British soldiers. This act was highly contentious and perceived as an infringement on the colonists' rights, contributing to the tensions that led to the American Revolution. The act mandated that if colonists failed to accommodate soldiers, British officers could seize their property for this purpose.
