The British Proclamation of 1763, issued after the French and Indian War, aimed to stabilize relations with Native Americans by prohibiting colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. It established a boundary line, reserving the land beyond for Indigenous peoples and requiring settlers to leave that area. The proclamation intended to prevent further conflicts between colonists and Native Americans, but it frustrated many colonists eager for westward expansion. Ultimately, it contributed to rising tensions between Britain and its American colonies.

The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by the British crown to stabilize relations with Native Americans following the French and Indian War. It prohibited colonial settlers from moving west of the Appalachian Mountains, reserving that land for Native American tribes. The intent was to prevent further conflicts between settlers and Indigenous peoples, and to manage colonial expansion more effectively. However, it was widely resented by colonists eager for land and economic opportunity.
In some ways the Mandans at the mouth of the Knife River were easier for the expedition to befriend than many other native groups, since the tribe had already met white explorers - the French Sieur de la Verendrye in 1738 and the Welshman John Evans in 1796. Trading arrangements had also been established between the Mandans and Spanish and French traders. Lewis and Clark were seen as another opportunity for the tribe to benefit from superior technology. By 1804 the Mandans were already much reduced by disease and inter-tribal war, so they had every reason to look upon the Corps of Discovery as potential friends and allies against their traditional enemies. Lewis and Clark always conducted themselves in a courteous and kindly way and were eager to establish good relationships with all the native groups they met; the Mandans were equally friendly.
A good excuse to leave your friends and go to French class instead, is that you are eager to speak French, because speaking French is so romantic.
Many Native Americans favored the British during the Revolutionary War because they believed that a British victory would better protect their lands and way of life. The British had established policies that recognized Native American territories and often sought to limit colonial expansion into those areas. In contrast, the American colonists were eager to expand westward, posing a greater threat to Native American lands. Additionally, some tribes formed alliances with the British in hopes of securing support against colonial encroachment.
The Battle of Saratoga played a huge influence on the French. The fact that the colonists won a decisive victory proved to the French that the colonists could actually fight. The French were eager to get back at the British because of their humiliating loss in the French and Indian War, and saw a chance to get revenge and increase their power by becoming involved in the American Revolutionary War. Mainly due to Saratoga, the French decided to enter in the colonists war for independence.
