Proclamation of 1763
This proclamation did not allow colonists to settle west of the Appalachian Mountans. The British government feared the conflict between colonists and Native Americans would lead to another war. They also could not afford to pay British troops to defend the western lands. Colonists were enraged by this proclamation because they felt they had won the right to settle in the Ohio River Valley alfter winning the French and Indian War. -
