Question

King George III issued the Proclamation of 1763 in order to protect the colonists from Native American attacks.

True
False

Answer 1

False. The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King George III primarily to stabilize relations with Native Americans after the French and Indian War. It aimed to restrict colonial expansion westward beyond the Appalachian Mountains to prevent conflicts between settlers and Native Americans. While it was intended to protect Native Americans and their lands, it also limited colonial expansion, leading to frustration among colonists.
