Question

Why were colonists so upset about the Proclamation of 1763?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Colonists wanted to move west into lands that they rightfully gained in winning the French and Indian War, but the Proclamation of 1763 would not allow them to move west of the Appalachian Mountains.

Explanation:

The Colonists have to spend large amount of reserouces for their involvement in the French and Indian war. They lost a lot of manpower along with money that they used to purchase weapon, supplies, and medication.

They believed that the resources that exist in west of the Appalachian Mountains will help them recuperate the loss.

But in 1763 , King George II enacted the Proclamation of 1763. This proclamation foraged the settlers to move from the west of the mountains since it was delineated as an Indian reserve. This cause the colonists to develop deep resentment ofr the British empire.
