Question

In 1763, why were British leaders especially interested in honoring Native American land rights stipulated in the Easton Treaty and the Treaty of Paris?

- International demand for fur had increased and they did not want Native American providers to migrate too far from the western border of British settlement.

- Restricting white settlement in the west would make the colonies easier and cheaper to administer.

- Pontiac's Rebellion had shown that Native Americans were prepared to wage war to defend their lands.

- Anglo-Protestant migrants would be more likely to move to Canada and Florida where European Catholics had dominated.
