Proclamation of 1763

At the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, France surrendered Canada and much of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys-two-thirds of eastern North America to England. The Proclamation of 1763 "preserved to the said Indians" the lands west of the Appalachian Mountains and ordered White settlers "there forthwith to remove themselves from such Settlements," forbade White settlement, and restricted commerce with the American Indians to traders licensed by the British government, requiring settlers to "take out a License for carrying on such Trade from the Governor of

Commander in Chief of any of Our Colonies respectively." Power over westward expansion was in the hands of British officials, outside the colonists' control. By preventing the colonial population from moving intand the British ministry hoped to avoid costly wars, protect the western fur trade, and keep western land speculation under the control of the crown. To onforce the proclamation, Britain authorized positioning 10,000 troops along the frontier, with the costs of 250,000 pounds sterling per year to be paid by the colonists. The Americans, who looked at the new land as an opportunity for settlement without the interference of the British government, resented the terms of the proclamation.

In one short paragraph

Answer 1

The Treaty of Paris, signed on September 3, 1783, marked the official end of the American Revolutionary War, establishing the United States as an independent nation. The negotiations took place primarily in Paris, with key figures such as American diplomats Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, and John Adams representing the United States, while British representatives included David Hartley. The treaty recognized U.S. sovereignty, delineated borders stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River, and granted fishing rights off the coast of Canada. While the war had yielded many casualties, including approximately 25,000 American lives lost, the treaty concluded the conflict that lasted nearly eight years, from 1775 to 1783. The signing of this treaty not only solidified the victory of the thirteen colonies but also set the stage for future U.S. diplomatic relations and territorial expansion.
