Proclamation of 1763
They could not move
passed the red line
The Royal Proclamation of
1763 was issued October 7, 1763, by
King George III following Great
Britain's acquisition of French territory
in North America after the end of the
French and Indian War/Seven Years'
War. The purpose of the proclamation
was to organize Great Britain's new
North American empire and to stabilize
relations with Native North Americans
through regulation of trade,
settlement, and land purchases on the
western frontier. The Royal
Proclamation continues to be of legal
importance to First Nations in Canada.
Interesting facts
The Proclamation of 1763 forbade English
colonists to live west of the Appalachian
Mountains.
The proclamation also established or
defined four new colonies, three of them on the
continent proper. Quebec, which was of course
already well settled, two colonies to be called
East Florida and West Florida — and off the
continent, Grenada.

More facts
In the fall of 1763, a royal decree was
issued that prohibited the North American
colonists from establishing or maintaining
settlements west of an imaginary line
running down the crest of the Appalachian
Mountains.
