Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Royal Proclamation of 1763 prohibited American settlement west of the Appalachians, which helped to reduce conflict between colonists and Native American tribes in the Ohio River Valley. This, however, was a major source of tension between the colonists and the British government, as many felt that they had fought in the French and Indian War in order to gain access to these western lands.
