Pontiac. Shortly after the war though, he started the Pontiac rebelllion which forcced King George the III to make the proclamation of 1763 so that his british colonists couldn't live west of the Appalacian Mountains.
France. In 1763, the English gained all land to the East of the Mississippi River, and Spain gained all land to the West of the Mississippi River. Because of this Spain lost their colony of Florida to the English. The French land was split between the English and the Spanish. But the Proclamation of 1763 forbade the English settlers from crossing the Appalachain Mountains. So, the English hardly gained any land. They handed their lands West of the Appalachians to the Indians living there.
The proclamation of 1763 was about the colonist in the colonies not being allowed to move in to the area the fought for in the french and Indian war because the colonist were causing problems with the Indians who lived on that land.
In 1763 the Governor-general, Sir Jeffrey Amherst told the Indian tribes that the colonies would no longer make annual gifts to the tribes, and this was taken as an insult. Colonists continued to encroach on Indian lands, and did so even after the Proclamation of 1763 that attempted to restrict westward expansion.
