1763

In 1763, in an effort to avoid further trouble with the Native Americans of the Ohio Valley, Parliament issued the Proclamation of 1763. This law forbade colonists to settle west of the Appalachian Mountains. It also said that British troops would be stationed permanently in the colonies to keep order.

How did the colonists react to this?
