The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by the king to prevent further conflict with Native Americans over land. It aimed to establish boundaries for colonial settlement by prohibiting British colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains. This decision was made to avoid confrontations and maintain peace with Native American tribes, who were understandably unhappy with increased colonial expansion and encroachment on their territories.
