Detailed explanation-1: -The Proclamation Line of 1763 was a British-produced boundary marked in the Appalachian Mountains at the Eastern Continental Divide. Decreed on October 7, 1763, the Proclamation Line prohibited Anglo-American colonists from settling on lands acquired from the French following the French and Indian War.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The British government did not want American colonists crossing the Appalachian Mountains and creating tension with the French and Native Americans there. The solution seemed simple. They issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which declared the boundaries of the thirteen colonies as the Appalachian Mountains.
