What was the name of the edict that declared that colonists should not settle west of the appalachian mountains?
Dmitriy789 [7]

The name of the edict that declared that colonists should not settle west of the Appalachian Mountains was the Proclamation of 1763. The Proclamation of 1763 was published by the British at the ending of the Indian and French War to conciliate Native Americans by inspecting the violation of European settlers in their areas.

 

EXPLANATION:  

The Proclamation of 1763 generated a boundary, recognized as the line of proclamation, segregating the British colonies who lived in the Atlantic coast from the American Indian area west of the Appalachian Mountains. Years after the proclamation, this has been one of the legal foundations of Native Americans in the United States and Canada.

 

After the end of the Indian and French Wars in America, the British Empire started to tauten control over its rather independent colonies. Responding to the Pontiac’s Rebellion, a Native American rebellion with Pontiac as the leader. Pontiac was an Ottawa chief, King George III professed all regions west of the Appalachian Divide was prohibited for colonial settlers.

 

This royal proclamation, published on 7 October 1763, closed the colonial extension westward outside of Appalachia. That was the first step that affected all thirteen colonies. The decree prohibited citizens and the colonial government from purchasing land or making any agreements with the native people; the empire would do all official affairs. In addition, only licensed merchants were permitted to travel west or deal with Indians.

 

Theoretically protecting invaders from Indian raging, the action was also intended to protect Native Americans from progressively recurrent attacks by white settlers. The proclamation also built three new mainland colonies: West Florida, Quebec, and East Florida, while expanding the southern border of Georgia and giving land to soldiers who fought in the Seven Years War.
