Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Proclamation Line of 1763 was a British-produced boundary marked in the Appalachian Mountains at the Eastern Continental Divide.

Detailed explanation-2: -The British believed that if Americans moved west over the mountains, it would be too challenging to regulate trade and taxes, and that their resources would be spread too thin.
Detailed explanation-3: -After the Seven Years’ War, the British Parliament creates the Indian Proclamation Line of 1763, which bans colonists from settling west of the middle of the Appalachian Mountains.
