7 окт 1763 г. - Proclamation of 1763

Описание:

Britain set up a boundary cutting off the colonists access to the new land to the West of them that they had just fought for in the French and Indian war. The colonists were outraged, because they saw that land as their birthright. Colonists thought Britain was siding with the Native Americans instead of them.
"Some wanted only enough land for themselves and their families, whereas others were speculators looking to make a hefty profit down the road. George Washington, for one, wrote to his agent in 1767 in support of illegally buying as much Native American land as possible. The Proclamation of 1763 will soon be revoked, Washington explained, because—'this I say between ourselves'—it was only meant 'as a temporary expedient to quiet the minds of the Indians.'"
