To determine which of the statements are accurate regarding the colonists' reactions to the Proclamation of 1763, we need to analyze each statement based on historical knowledge of the time period.
1. Georgians were unaffected by the proclamation because they had no claim to forbidden lands.
To determine if this statement is accurate, we need to understand the context of the Proclamation of 1763. The proclamation was issued by the British government and aimed to establish a boundary in the Appalachian Mountains that restricted westward expansion for the American colonists.
While this statement specifically refers to Georgians, it is important to note that the proclamation affected all American colonists. It aimed to limit their ability to settle and expand into the lands beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Therefore, the statement is not accurate, and this response should not be selected.
2. Colonists were angry that the crown was protecting the American Indians.
This statement is accurate. Many colonists were indeed angry about the Proclamation of 1763 because they believed it restricted their ability to acquire lands and resources in the western frontier. They felt that the British government was prioritizing the protection of American Indians over their own interests, leading to resentment and frustration. Thus, this response should be selected.
3. Colonists believed the king was trying to keep them close to the Atlantic coast so he could control them.
This statement is also accurate. Many colonists believed that the British government, under King George III, issued the Proclamation of 1763 to exert more control over the colonies. By restricting westward expansion and keeping the colonists closer to the Atlantic coast, the British government could more easily monitor and control their activities. Therefore, this response should be selected.
4. Colonists were pleased that they could peacefully share the new lands with Native Americans.
This statement is not accurate. While some colonists may have had positive or neutral relations with Native Americans, the overall attitude towards the Proclamation of 1763 was one of anger and frustration. The colonists desired to expand their settlements and obtain more land, which was restricted by the proclamation. Therefore, this response should not be selected.
In summary, the accurate statements about the colonists' reactions to the Proclamation of 1763 are:
- Colonists were angry that the crown was protecting the American Indians.
- Colonists believed the king was trying to keep them close to the Atlantic coast so he could control them.
