1 answer

The primary group that benefited from the Proclamation of 1763 were:

c. The Native Americans

The Proclamation was intended to stabilize relations with Native Americans by prohibiting colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains, thus protecting their lands and rights. While the British government aimed to regulate colonial expansion, the measure was largely unfavorable to colonists who wanted to expand westward. The French had already ceded their territories in North America following the French and Indian War, and the British saw the proclamation as a way to manage their new territories and prevent conflicts.
