After a Native American war against the British in the Ohio River Valley known as Pontiac's Rebellion, the British signed a treaty in 1763 which stipulated that no whites could permanently settle west of the Appalachian mountains, with some exceptions for trading and military purposes. When the American colonies won their independence in 1783, the new country received the territory between the Appalachians and the Mississippi, and the white settlement there began.
