Indian chief who tried to drive the settlers out of the Ohio region?
Pontiac
Were the American colonists justified in declaring independence from England?
American colonists justified in fighting a war to break away from Britain. One reason American colonists justified in fighting a war to break away from Britain was because Americans didn't want to pay high taxes. The fight for the Ohio River Valley lead to the American Revolution.
In 1960 was there slavery in Ohio?
I think you mean 1860. No, there wasn't. At worst, the Confederacy could have reached as far as the Ohio River, but never beyond it.
What was the Proclamation of 1763?
The Proclamation of 1763 was an attempt to prevent the colonists from going west and passed the Appalachian Mountains. The British did this to prevent future issues between Native Americans and the colonists. This angered the colonists because they wanted the benefits that would come with the western lands. Naturally, thousands disregarded the imaginary boundary line. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was sent out by George III on October 7th 1763, restricting American settlement to the Eastern Seaboard area. Americans could not move westward into the Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley, or south into the Floridas (i.e. the Gulf Coast). It meant that colonists couldn't move farther west than the Appalachian mountains. This upset the colonists because some had already claimed land to the west. The main reason for the rule was that it was costing too much money for the British to keep hostile Indians away from the settlers. It did not succeed because so many colonists were already settled in the area. It was finally altered in 1768 and 1770 to recognize the western settlements.
Why were the original thirteen colonies east of the Appalachian mountains?
Royal proclamation of 1763. After the French and Indian wars the British had won the Ohio valley territory (Basically everything from the East coast to the Mississippi river). However, the British did not want the colonies to settle west of the Appalachian mountains because they were having enough problems controlling them while they were relatively close on the coastal colonies. So, most of the land between the mountains and the Mississippi river became Indian territory although a few adventurous souls did settle there. After the colonies broke free of England they began to settle the Ohio valley. We stopped there until after the Louisiana purchase got us even more land. Finally we took the west coast from Mexican/Spanish control.
