Proclamation+of+1763

=__The Proclamation of 1763__= toc

The Proclamation was when they made sure that the the North American colonists didn't build colonies across this imaginary line. That is next to the Appalachian Mountains. This made sure they were in the place they need to be, if the white men crossed the imaginary line they would be removed as soon as they could. There were certain people though that could cross this line, for fur and trading. They did this to make sure they did not create warfare with the Indians. They mostly did this because they didn't have enough men in the west to fight them and it was very expinsive to go in the war and they did not have enough money to go into war.

How the Indians Felt
Some of the Indians didn't care about the Proclamation but, other people didn't like it. They realized that it would not last forever and cross the border and take there land. The Indians thought that they should get rid of the Proclamation because they thought they should just get it over with. They also didn't like them coming in and taking some of there fur.

Before the French and Indian War was started for control of land to the west of the Allegheny Mountains in the Ohio River Valley. The French and Indians joined up and fought the British for the land.

During The French and Indian War
During the war the Indians had about 175,000 men. The France had about 70,000 men in there colonies. The British had about 1 million men in the colonies. The France econmey was based on trading and importing goods. They traded mainly with the Native Americans. The British econmey was based on farming. During the war The French and Indians were doing good against the British.

After The French and Indian War king George III was when the King made the proclamation. It was At October,7,1763. The king did this because after the war he thought of this to try to keep peace with everyone. He though that the Indians should be respected and treated fairly. The war was ended by the peace treaty. All land west of Mississippi river was given to the British.



The Proclamation was good because it kept the two races seperated. There was no wars, no fights, nothing. Most of the Indians didnt mind so they didn't fight. It stopped all fights.
