The Settlement Act of 1765, also known as the Royal Proclamation of 1763, aimed to regulate colonial expansion in North America following the Seven Years' War. It prohibited colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains, reserving these lands for Indigenous peoples. The act was intended to stabilize relations with Native Americans and prevent conflicts, but it angered many colonists who desired westward expansion, contributing to growing tensions between Britain and the American colonies.
