Answer 1

After winning the French & Indian War, Great Britain passed the Proclamation of 1763 which made the colonists angry because it did not allow them to settle on land west of the Appalachian mountains.. The colonists were upset that they helped in the war effort and then were not allowed to settle on land that they thought should be theirs. This was one cause that led to the American Revolution.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A)It did not allow them to settle on land west of the Appalachian Mountains.

The British government forbid colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains due to the fear of possible warfare with Native American groups living in these areas. Considering that the French and Indian War resulted in a significant amount of debt for the British government, the last thing the British government wanted was another expensive war overseas in which they send troops to the American colonies.
