Royal Proclamation of 1763
The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was a document issued by King George III of Great Britain. It aimed to regulate the settlement of lands acquired by Britain in North America after the end of the Seven Years’ War.
The proclamation established a boundary line along the Appalachian Mountains beyond which colonial settlement was prohibited, reserving the land west of the boundary for Indigenous peoples. It was intended to reduce conflicts between Indigenous peoples and European settlers and to assert British control over colonial expansion.
