The Proclamation of 1763 restricted colonists to the territory east of the Appalachian Mountains. This regulation was enacted by the British government to stabilize relations with Native Americans and prevent further conflicts following the French and Indian War. Colonists were prohibited from settling west of the Appalachian line, which was intended to protect Indigenous lands and avoid the costs of military protection.
