oct 7, 1763 - Proclamation of 1763

Description:

The Proclamation of 1763 was a decree issued by King George III following Great Britain's acquisition of French territory in North America after the end of the French and Indian War. It forbade all settlement past a line drawn along the Appalachian Mountains, with the aim of easing tensions with Native Americans, but it stirred resentment among colonists eager for westward expansion.
