The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by the British government following the conclusion of the French and Indian War. It declared that colonists were prohibited from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains, reserving the land for Native American tribes. The proclamation sought to avoid conflict between settlers and Natives, as well as establish a colonial boundary. However, it was deeply unpopular among colonists who saw it as an infringement on their rights and desired to expand westward. The Proclamation of 1763 heightened tensions between the colonists and the British government, contributing to the growing discontent that eventually led to the American Revolution.
