Proclamation Of 1763 Research Paper
1763 was a very important year for American history. It was the end of the French and Indian War ( Seven Year's War). It was the bloodiest war in American history during the 18th century. This lead to the signing of the Treaty of Paris, which lead to France giving up all of their territory in North America to Britain. As an result of the post war, King George III produced the Proclamation of 1763. The Proclamation banned colonial settlement west of the Appalachian. Many colonies were upset at this because they couldn't settle in the west part of the Appalachian Mountains. And any colonist already settle west of the Appalachian was ordered to move back. Acts began to get passed by Britain: Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Quartering Act, Declaratory Act,
and the Townshend Revenue Act. This lead to the Boston Massacre which angry colonist starting fighting British soldiers. Then the Tea Act of 1773 caused the outburst resulting in the Boston Tea Party, when colonist dumped British tea into the Boston Harbor. As things began to build up, colonists become more frustrated. And their anger eventually lead to the American Revolution. The Revolution lasted from 1765 to 1783.
