Answer 2

As a result of the Pontiac's Rebellion, the British set aside land west of the Appalachian Mountains for American Indians, but the colonists refused to leave.

The Pontiac Rebellion was a war begun in 1763 by the Indians of North America, who were dissatisfied with British policies in the Great Lakes area following their victory in the Franco-Indian War (1754-1763). Warriors from numerous tribes joined the uprising in an effort to expel British soldiers and settlers from the region. The name of the war comes from the most important native chief of the conflict, Pontiac, leader of the Ottawa.

The war started in May 1763, when the Indians, alarmed by the impositions of General Jeffrey Amherst, attacked several forts and British settlements. They destroyed eight forts and killed and captured hundreds of settlers, which got many others to flee the region. The hostilities ended two years later, when the incursions of the British Army led to peace negotiations. The Indians were unable to expel the British, but the uprising caused the British Government to modify its policy towards the Indians.
