To determine whether each of the statements is true or false, we need to understand the context of the Proclamation of 1763 and the reactions of the colonists.
The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by the British government following their victory in the French and Indian War. It aimed to stabilize relations between American Indians and colonists by restricting colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains.
Now let's evaluate each statement:
1. Georgians were unaffected by the proclamation because they had no claim to forbidden lands.
- False: Georgians were indeed affected by the proclamation. While it is true that Georgia was not directly affected because it was not settled beyond the Appalachians at that time, the proclamation affected neighboring colonies and indirectly impacted trade and expansion.
2. Colonists were angry that the crown was protecting the American Indians.
- True: Many colonists were indeed angry that the British government was protecting American Indians. They saw it as an infringement on their rights and felt that the British were favoring the indigenous people over their own interests.
3. Colonists believed the king was trying to keep them close to the Atlantic coast so he could control them.
- True: Many colonists believed that the king was trying to keep them close to the Atlantic coast so he could exert greater control over them. They saw the proclamation as an attempt to limit their freedom and prevent them from expanding into new territories.
4. Colonists were pleased that they could peacefully share the new lands with Native Americans.
- False: Colonists were generally not pleased with the proclamation's restrictions on westward expansion. They wanted access to new lands for settlement, trade, and economic opportunities. They did not view it as an opportunity for peaceful coexistence with Native Americans but rather as a hindrance to their ambitions.
So, the correct answers are:
1. False
2. True
3. True
4. False
