The Appalachian Mountains marked the western boundary of British claims.
The British reserved land between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River for Native American tribes as part of the Proclamation of 1763, which aimed to prevent conflicts between colonists and Indigenous peoples. The intention was to create a boundary beyond which colonists were not permitted to settle in order to protect Native American territories. However, this policy was largely disregarded by colonists and led to further tensions between the British government and American colonists.
The Proclamation of 1763 was made by King George III after the French and Indian (Seven Years) War, saying that British colonists could not occupy/colonise the area in between the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains that the British acquired from the French.
The British PROCLAMATION OF 1763 established that all British-controlled lands west of the Appalachian Mountains were reserved exclusively for Native Americans. British colonists were forbidden from settling those regions. This would stand against US Western expansion until 1783 when the Treaty of Paris ceded all British territories between the Mississippi and the Appalachian Mountains to the nascent United States, which immediately rescinded the Proclamation of 1763.
It divided it at the Appalachian mountains.
They wanted to control lands west of the appalachian mountains. They competed for wealth and to make their own empires stronger.
It is the Appalachian mountains.
