Question

Which of the following was the most significant outcome of the Seven Years' War?

Answer 1

A. American Indians won protection for some ancestral lands.

Through the Proclamation of 1763, Native Americans were protected from settlement over the Appalachian Mountains.

The land between the mountains and the Mississippi River was transferred from the French to the British as part of the Treaty of Paris 1763. Great Britain protected this land from colonial settlement providing Native Americans reserved land. This act created a better relationship between England and Native Americans. However, the colonists were resentful and this began a rift between the colonists and Great Britain.
