The aim of the Proclamation Line, established by the British government in 1763, was primarily to forestall further conflict on the frontier. Following the French and Indian War, the line was intended to limit colonial expansion westward into Native American territories and to stabilize relations between settlers and Indigenous peoples by preventing the encroachment on their lands.
