After King George III's Proclamation of 1763, which restricted colonial expansion west of the Appalachian Mountains, many American colonists felt frustrated and angry. They believed the proclamation limited their economic opportunities and their right to settle new lands.

This sentiment contributed to growing tensions between the colonies and the British government.
