APUSH and YOU

THe British were not all that interested in dealing with angry Native Americans so the Proclamation of 1763 was put in effect. The Proclamation stated that the colonists were not to settle past the Appalachian mountains. The British were trying to reassert the crown's soveriegnity over the colonists.

The Proclamation was not heeded to by all the colonists.

The interior Native Americans had to difed themselves and their homeland with arms. The English tried to enforce their own control onto the Natives. This would somewhat lead to the idea of reservations, since the land behind the Appalachians was "reserved" for the Natives.
