When Britain won the French and Indian War, the American colonists took the victory to mean they would be able to expand west. However, the native tribes were already expressing concern over the territory the colonists had taken. In an effort to make peace with the Native Americans, Britain issued the Proclamation of 1763, which halted the expansion of the colonies. Many colonists took it to mean Britain feared them moving beyond the east coast, because they were easier to contain.
