... discourage African Americans from voting.
Poll taxes means you have to pay a tax before allowed to vote. That's a way of preventing poor persons (like blacks in the South) from voting.
In addition to poll taxes, other measures were also used to block blacks from participating in the voting process. For instance, literacy tests would require persons to pass certain standards of reading and writing in order to qualify for voting. These tests were aimed at blacks, who had not had access to the same education as whites.

Essentially, the Proclamation of 1763, issued by King George III, prevented colonists from settling past the so-called <em>proclamation line</em>, west of the Appalachian mountains, even though part of that land had already been assigned, and it also prohibited the purchase of land from American Indians by private hands.
However, it benefited Georgia by granting the state a very significant amount of land. For instance, it gave it all the lands between the rivers Altamaha and St. Marys, therefore extending its southern border. In addition, two of the four new colonies that were created after the Proclamation (East and West Florida) were located south of Georgia. Between those two Floridas and Georgia there was a very large area of undesignated land, which soon afterwards was also granted to Georgia.
