The colonists who lived west of the Appalachians experienced various historical events and challenges in the course of American history
Some of the happenings include
Proclamation of 1763: After the French and Indian War (also known as the Seven Years' War), the British government issued the Proclamation of 1763. This proclamation sought to prevent conflicts with Native American populations by prohibiting colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains.
Challenges to Prohibition: Despite the Proclamation of 1763, some colonists defied the restrictions and moved westward. They sought new opportunities for land and resources, leading to tensions between the colonists and the British authorities.
American Revolution: The resistance to British rule that ultimately led to the American Revolution also impacted the colonists west of the Appalachians. They played a role in the broader struggle for independence.
