The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued October 7, 1763, by King George III following Great Britain's acquisition of French territory in North America after the end of the French and Indian War/Seven Years' War, which forbade all settlement past a linedrawn along the Appalachian Mountains.

Answer:

The feature that limited colonial expansion westward beyond the original 13 colonies was the Appalachian mountains.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1763, United States was still under British rules, and by a proclamation act in this year, the colonies couldn't expand west of this mountains, which caused inequality in land distribution.
