· The Proclamation of 1763
Write “The Proclamation of 1763” under the second domino on your Cause-and-Effect Title Page. Remember, each event you will study in this unit is both a cause and an effect. Each event you will learn about happened as a result of the previous event.
· The Proclamation of 1763 was ordered as a result of the French and Indian War. The American colonists wanted to move farther west, but that would have meant further fighting with the Indians, which King George III wanted to avoid.
· This proclamation prohibited colonists from moving west of the Appalachian Mountains, and preserved this land as hunting grounds for the American Indians.
