Answer

The Proclamation of 1763, was issued by King George III, to halt the expansion of the American Colonies beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Before the French and Indian War, France had helped in the process of preventing colonists from settling on Indian hunting lands west of the Appalachians. But settlers began crossing the frontier soon after Britain defeated France.

To preserve the Indian hunting grounds, an Ottawa chief named Pontiac, led an uprising in the spring of 1763.

Britain feared a long and bloody war with the Indians, which it could not afford. King George issued the Proclamation of 1763. The document reserved lands west of the Appalachians for Indians and forbade white settlements there.

Britain sent soldiers to guard the frontier and to keep settlers out.

The colonists deeply resented the Proclamation of 1763. They felt that Britain had no right to restrict their settlement. In addition, many Americans hoped to profit from the purchase of western lands.

How did the colonist respond to the British proclamation of 1763?

The proclamation of 1763 was a public announcement that said all lands of the Appalachian Mountains belonged to the Native Americans. Colonists became angry with the Proclamation of 1763 because the Proclamation gave the Crown a monopoly on land bought from Native Americans. So, instead of listening and following the Proclamations rules and orders, they ignored them. They were angry that Britain had limited the area available for settlement. They were also upset because the law forbade them from settling in the Ohio River Valley where there was fertile soil for farming, and the Native Americans weren't using it. Many colonists had already bought land west of the Appalachians and now weren't allowed to move. Many colonists did not respect the Native Americans and did not want to preserve their land. The colonists just ignored the law and moved across the Appalachians.
