Question

Which accurately describes the Proclamation of 1763?

Answer 1

Answer:

It reserved land west of the Appalachians for Native Americans

Explanation:

When the Franco-Indian War ended in 1763, France gave all right to territories in North America east of the Mississippi River to Britain. However, the Indians, who were allies of France during the war, became increasingly dissatisfied with British politics and started a war of independence against them. The Pontiac rebellion led to the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which forbade the settlement of Englishmen west of the Appalachian Mountains. The main goal of the proclamation was to force the colonists to buy land from the natives, in order to reduce the costly wars that waged around the territory.
