Explanation:
2- The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was a proclamation issued on October 7, 1763 by King George III as a result of the acquisition by Great Britain of French territory in North America after the end of the French and Indian War. The proclamation was intended to organize the vast and new British lands in North America, and to establish relations with the Native Americans by regulating fur trade, colonization and the purchase of land on the western border. The proclamation also aimed to assimilate the "Canadiens", as the French population was called at that time. Its first objective was to make Canada a true British colony.
The proclamation prohibited settlers from settling beyond a line drawn along the Appalachian Mountains, a line that was geographically similar to the route of the eastern continental divide that runs north from Georgia to the Pennsylvania state border and New York, and to the northeast beyond the watershed over the San Lorenzo divide and from there northward through New England.
3- The Pontiac's War was the greatest resistance to the European settlement in North America; the coalition of tribes had taken eight forts, besieged others for months and produced 2,000 casualties among the English. Despite failing to expel them, the conflict forced the British authorities to recognize indigenous rights who still owned their ancestral lands. That principle was written in the royal proclamation and is the basis for the land claims of the indigenous peoples today.
4- In contrast to the French policy of integration of the tribes, the British proceeded to subdue them. Derogatory with the natives, they limited trade, prohibited the delivery of gifts -of high symbolic value to the natives- and advanced on their hunting territories. Therefore, Pontiac's War was a way to try to recover their territories and expel the British from them.
5- After the French and Indian War, France lost control over all his colonies east of the Mississippi, except Saint Pierre and Miquelon, two islands near Newfoundland. In the Caribbean, it only maintained the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique.
