<P> The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued October 7 , 1763 , by King George III following Great Britain 's acquisition of French territory in North America after the end of the French and Indian War / Seven Years ' War , which forbade all settlement west of a line drawn along the Appalachian Mountains . It rendered worthless land grants given by the British government to Americans who fought for the crown against France . The Proclamation angered American colonists , who wanted to continue their westward expansion into new lands for farming and keep local control over their settled area . The Royal Proclamation continues to be of legal importance to First Nations in Canada . The 1763 proclamation line is similar to the Eastern Continental Divide 's path running northwards from Georgia to the Pennsylvania -- New York border and north - eastwards past the drainage divide on the St. Lawrence Divide from there northwards through New England . </P>
