Proclamation of 1763 Questions to Answer: 1. How did it come about? After the war, Great Britain owned most of the land between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River. 2. What were the results? The Native Americans were angry because promises were not kept. Britain had a large war debt from fighting the French & Indian War. Colonists ignored the law and moved into newly won territory.

Proclamation of 1763 Questions to Answer: 3. What did the proclamation say? All land west of Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River would be for the Native Americans. 4. So then what? Settlers were mad because they’d already settled there. No money given to force settlers to move. Colonists continued conflicts with Native Americans. Colonists ignored Britain’s taxes and rules.

How Did This Affect Georgia?

Georgia was different from the other colonies in several ways. Georgia was the youngest colony, had the smallest population, and it had no political structure = It was still ruled and protected by Britain (A.K.A. Royal Colony). It’s original treaty of 1732 had the state extending all the way to present day California! The Treaty of Paris changed that to the Mississippi River.

So what will lead to rebellion? Colonists still wanted more land and to move west. Land companies wanted to get the land to sell. Native Americans did not like being told what to do and where to go. No one kept their promises and England breaks both the proclamation and treaty within a few years. Colonists decide they want to self-govern and that King George III is taking advantage of them with all the taxes and lack of voice in their government.
