The correct statement regarding the tensions created by the Proclamation of 1763 (not 1673) is that it forbid the colonists from acquiring land west of the Appalachian Mountains. This proclamation was issued following the French and Indian War and aimed to stabilize relations with Native Americans by limiting the westward expansion of the colonies. Many colonists were frustrated by this restriction, as they had hoped to acquire land for farming and settlement. This tension eventually contributed to the growing discontent that led to the American Revolution.
