Why did the king issue the Proclamation of 1763?

Answer 1

The king issued the Proclamation of 1763 in order to establish a boundary line between the British colonies in North America and the Native American territories west of the Appalachian Mountains. This boundary line aimed to prevent further conflict between colonists and Native Americans following the French and Indian War. Additionally, the proclamation sought to control westward expansion by colonists, as the British government wanted to maintain a tighter control over the western lands and maintain trade relationships with Native American tribes.
