Detailed explanation-1: -The colonists strongly objected to the Proclamation of 1763. They resented that the British government was restricting their settlements and taking control of the west out of their hands. Colonial anger over the proclamation helped spark the 12-year crisis that led to the American Revolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -They felt the Proclamation was a plot to keep them under the strict control of England and that the British only wanted them east of the mountains so they could keep an eye on them. As a result, colonists rebelled against this law just like they did with the mercantile laws.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by the British at the end of the French and Indian War to appease Native Americans by checking the encroachment of European settlers on their lands.
Detailed explanation-4: -The proclamation provided that all lands west of the heads of all rivers which flowed into the Atlantic Ocean from the west or northwest were off-limits to the colonists. This excluded the rich Ohio Valley and all territory from the Ohio to the Mississippi rivers from settlement.
