Detailed explanation-1: -People in Georgia did not share the same reactions to the Proclamation of 1763 as other colonists. The colony was relatively small and most colonists were still settled along Georgia’s coastline. Also, Georgia gained land and resources from the Spanish after the French and Indian War.
Detailed explanation-2: -In fact, many simply ignored the Proclamation and settled the new lands anyway. The people of Georgia did not share the same reactions to the Proclamation of 1763 for two reasons. First, the young Georgia colony was small and most colonists were still nestled on the Georgia coastline, a major trade route.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some of the older mainland colonies objected to the provisions of the proclamation of 1763 that restricted white settlement to the area east of the headwaters of streams flowing into the Atlantic. Georgia’s settlement had not reached nearly this far west yet; so there was no dissatisfaction on this account.
Detailed explanation-4: -This angered the colonists. 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.
