What were the patriot point of view of the proclamation of 1763?
they wanted to kill the king over it
What was the proclammation of 1763?
The Proclamation of 1763 was made by King George III after the French and Indian (Seven Years) War, saying that British colonists could not occupy/colonise the area in between the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains that the British acquired from the French.
What was the British perspective on the Proclamation of 1763?
In the Proclamation of 1763, King George III sold the land west of the Allegheny Mountains to Quebec. It did not matter that King George II had already sold the same land to Pennsylvania and Virginia. The British had extremely little respect for the settlers living in Ohio. That was in spite of the fact that American militias had run the French and Indians out of that area in the war and would ignore the Proclamation. So, the British idea was they only needed to make a proclamation and the Americans would obey it. The American idea was the British were free to run their mouths. We had fought and conquered that land, and we had paid for it. It was ours.
What was the agreement that stopped settlers from moving farther west?
In 1763, King George the Second signed a proclamation prohibiting the western march of settlers, and ordered those who had already moved to return. The proclamation established the Appalachian mountains as the dividing line, and demanded that there be no further settlement attempts west of that area. It was an attempt to maintain peace with the native Americans, but ultimately contributed to the American Revolution and further bitterness between the colonists and the native tribes.
Who was opposed in the proclamation of 1763?
The proclamation of king George III might be said to "oppose" the settlers' free choice of where to settle, since it forbade them to settle west of the Appalachian mountains. Basically the idea was to first get the existing colonies along the USA's east coast better organized, and to tempt settles to rather try their luck settling in the newly acquired province of Quebec, Canada.
