Question

Which statement best describes how the Proclamation of 1763 attempted to prevent problems between the colonists and Native Americans after the French and Indian War?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Proclamation of 1763 attempted to prevent problems by trying to prevent the encroachment of European settlers on native lands.

Explanation:

The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by the British government. The proclamation effectively created a boundary that separated the Atlantic colonies in the East from the lands that were beyond the Appalachian Mountains to the West. West of this land was considered Native territory.  Pontiac's Rebellion of Native Americans led to the edict issued by King George III. It made it illegal for private citizens and colonial governments to buy land from Native Americans of their own accord.
