The Proclamation of 1763 primarily benefited the Native Americans. This proclamation was issued by the British Crown following the end of the French and Indian War. It prohibited American colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains, aiming to stabilize relations with Native American tribes by preventing further encroachment on their lands.
While the British government intended to maintain peace and avoid costly conflicts with Native Americans, the proclamation was unpopular with many colonists, who desired to expand westward. Thus, while the proclamation sought to help Native American tribes by recognizing their lands, it was generally viewed unfavorably by the colonists and did not provide direct benefits to them or the British in terms of territorial expansion. The French, having lost control of much of their territory in North America, were not a beneficiary of this proclamation either.
