Why did the king issue the Proclamation of 1763? (1 point)

Answer 1

The king issued the Proclamation of 1763 to regulate and stabilize the vast territories acquired by the British Empire after the French and Indian War. The proclamation aimed to prevent conflicts between Native American tribes and British colonists by establishing a boundary line along the Appalachian Mountains. It prohibited settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains and required any colonists already settled in these areas to move east. The king hoped that this would avoid clashes between the colonists and Native Americans, as well as prevent further expensive conflicts.
