Detailed explanation-1: -A desire for good farmland caused many colonists to defy the proclamation; others merely resented the royal restrictions on trade and migration. Ultimately, the Proclamation of 1763 failed to stem the tide of westward expansion.
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 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-4: -The Proclamation of 1763 created an imaginary north-south line through the Appalachian Mountains that colonists were not allowed to settle past. Additionally, settlers who were already living west of the Appalachians had to return. It also forbade colonists from trading and buying land from Native Americans.
Detailed explanation-5: -The proclamation of 1763 angered colonists. Colonists felt that the proclamation took away their right as British citizens to travel where they wanted. Why did Britain begin taxing the colonists? To pay for the debt left from the French and Indian War.
