Why was the British government and many frontier colonies at odds over the treaty in 1763?

The British government and many frontier colonies were at odds over the Treaty of Paris in 1763 because the treaty ceded vast tracts of land from France to Britain, which raised expectations among colonists for westward expansion. However, the British government sought to stabilize relations with Native American tribes by issuing the Proclamation of 1763, which restricted colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. Colonists felt betrayed, as they believed they had earned the right to expand after their contributions to the French and Indian War. This tension contributed to growing discontent and resentment towards British authority, setting the stage for future conflicts.
