Colonists believed the king was trying to keep them close to the Atlantic coast so he could control them is this true or false

Answer 1

This statement is true. Many colonists believed that the king wanted to keep them close to the Atlantic coast in order to maintain control over them. The Proclamation of 1763, issued by King George III, was seen as a way to restrict westward expansion and keep the colonists confined to the eastern seaboard. This belief contributed to growing colonial resentment and played a role in the events that eventually led to the American Revolution.
