Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Britain’s debt from the French and Indian War led it to try to consolidate control over its colonies and raise revenue through direct taxation (e.g., Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, Tea Act, and Intolerable Acts), generating tensions between Great Britain and its North American colonies.
Detailed explanation-3: -The American Revolution was essentially the American war of independence. The economic causes of the Revolution can be broadly grouped under practice of mercantilism by Britain and the imposition of taxes by the British government on the American colonies.
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.
