After the Seven Years' War, control of the Appalachian Mountains shifted significantly. The British gained control over the region from France as a result of the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which ended the war.

The British government attempted to manage westward expansion by issuing the Proclamation of 1763, which restricted colonial settlement west of the Appalachians.
