The first of the so-called "Thirteen Colonies" was founded in 1607 when, with the permission of the English King James I, a group of settlers sent by the Virginia Company of London, forming Jamestown, in which they established a fort (to resist the native attacks), and after years of harsh conditions managed to prosper the settlement and surrounding land, being a major exporter of tobacco to the English metropolis towards the decade of the 20's. they were divided into three geographical regions: the colonies of New England, the colonies of the center and the colonies of the south. The New England colonies were rocky terrain, which made agriculture difficult. the colonies of the center provided deep and safe ports for ships. The geography of the land presented coastal plains, with soft hills inland and mountains farther from the shore. The land was rich and fertile for agriculture, which the settlers achieved successfully in this region. The southern colonies had a broad coastal plain that led to rolling hills. The mountainous regions were in the western sections of the southern colonies. The land was fertile for agriculture and the season was long due to the climate.  The economy of the 13 colonies was excellent with good agriculture and livestock, good craftsmanship and fishing. Agriculture was notable both in the production of marketable surpluses, as well as in subsistence ones. In the southern colonies tobacco was highlighted, this required a lot of slave or rented labor. The livestock of the north was important livestock.  The southern colonies: their main economic activities were related to the cultivation of raw materials (tobacco, soy, cotton, corn and wheat). Thanks to their good soil they also produced rice. They were based on agriculture, livestock, pig breeding and milk production.   Slavery was legal in those times and was practiced in each of the Thirteen Colonies. In most places they were house servants or farm workers. It was of economic importance in the export-oriented tobacco plantations of Virginia and Maryland, and the rice and indigo plantations of South Carolina. About 287,000 slaves were imported into the Thirteen Colonies, or 2% of the 12 million slaves brought through Africa.

If you were the King of England, how would you keep colonists from moving too far west into the backcountry?
Sonja [21]

Answer:The TREATY OF PARIS, which marked the end of the French and Indian War, granted Britain a great deal of valuable North American land. But the new land also gave rise to a plethora of problems.

The ceded territory, known as the Ohio Valley, was marked by the APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS in the east and the Mississippi River in the west.

Don't Go West, Young Man

Despite the acquisition of this large swath of land, the British tried to discourage American colonists from settling in it. The British already had difficulty administering the settled areas east of the Appalachians. Americans moving west would stretch British administrative resources thin.

Further, just because the French government had yielded this territory to Britain did not mean the Ohio Valley's French inhabitants would readily give up their claims to land or trade routes. Scattered pockets of French settlers made the British fearful of another prolonged conflict. The war had dragged on long enough, and the British public was weary of footing the bill.

Daniel Boone painting

George C. Bingham

Even after Britain issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763, Daniel Boone continued to settle areas west of the Appalachian Mountains. This 1851 painting, Daniel Boone Leading Settlers through the Cumberland Gap, depicts the popular image of a confident Boone leading the early pioneers fearlessly into the West.

Moreover, the Native Americans, who had allied themselves with the French during the Seven Years' War, continued to fight after the peace had been reached. Pontiac's Rebellion continued after the imperial powers achieved a ceasefire.

The last thing the British government wanted were hordes of American colonists crossing the Appalachians fueling French and Native American resentment.

The solution seemed simple. The ROYAL PROCLAMATION OF 1763 was issued, which declared the boundaries of settlement for inhabitants of the 13 colonies to be Appalachia.
