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: -The Proclamation of 1763 created enormous resentment among the colonists towards Britain. They felt that it was unfair of Britain to forbid them from settling on the land because they helped Britain fight for it during French and Indian War.
Detailed explanation-3: -It was the first measure to affect all thirteen colonies.
