Question

Why did the british government create the proclamation of 1763

Answer 1

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. The purpose of the proclamation was to organize Britain's vast new North American empire, and to stabilize relations with North American Indians through regulation of trade, settlement, and land purchases on the western frontier. The Proclamation in essence forbade Americans from settling or buying land west of the Appalachians. Colonists were angry because many already had land in that area. Additionally, the Proclamation gave the Crown a monopoly in land bought from Native Americans.

Answer 2

The proclamation of 1763 was issued on October 7 by the King of England George III after Britain acquired the French territories in North America.

The proclamation was aimed at organizing the new British lands and establishing agreements with the native communities for the fur trade, the process of colonial expansion and the purchase of land. The idea was also to assimilate the French population.

The proclamation prohibited settlers from settling beyond a line drawn along the Appalachian Mountains, making it an important antecedent for First Nations. The proclamation was also aimed at reducing the fear that had been generated in the native communities of a massive arrival of whites in their lands.
