Answer:

British Parliament issued a “Proclamation of 1763” which banned the expansion by the US settlers to the west of the Appalachian Mountains, as this area was now reserved for the native American Indians.

Step-by-step explanation:

American colonists view the Proclamation of 1763 as:

  • Amercian colonists felt cheated and betrayed as they contributed to Seven Year War along with Britain.
  • Rule of aristocrats on White's land.
  • To adhere strict control on Americans by England.
  • Restriction on trade and migration.
  • The direct cause of rebellion against England that leads to the American Revolution.
  • It provides surveillance to Britain as Americans lay along one corner that is East.

Thus Proclamation of 1763 act as a cause of rebellion to some and for others it mere act as a restriction on trade and migration
