The American Indians technically owned that land before the French because they were the only humans in that area.
This ultimately led to the American Revolution.
This Proclamation, signed by the British, forbade the colonists to move any farther west than they had already settled, and made all of the colonists that had moved west of the Mississippi move back into the 13 colonies. Since Britain had also come in to fight the French and Indian war, they were in debt. Since they took up for the colonists, they believed that they should help pay the taxes. Since the colonists had no representation in government and wanted to settle as they pleased, they were unhappy with Britain. This conflict, as I stated earlier, led to the American Revolution.
