England passed the Proclamation of 1763 primarily to establish peace with the Native Tribes. The Proclamation was issued following the conclusion of the French and Indian War, which resulted in British control over a vast amount of territory in North America. The British government aimed to prevent further conflicts between colonists and Indigenous peoples by prohibiting colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains without royal permission. This was intended to reduce tensions and foster better relations with Native tribes, who resisted encroachments on their lands.
