No, dear.
READ THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
http://www.constitutionfacts.com/?section=declarat...
The dec is a letter written by members of the Continental Congress to King George III, telling him that they objected to certain things that the British government was doing.
Quartering was one of those things
The Dec essentially said "We don't like what you're doing so we are separating from you and starting our own country."
The king said "Oh no you'e not" and sent soldiers.
We had a war.
That war was called the American Revolution,
