Salutary neglect was the British policy of avoiding strict enforcement of parliamentary laws, meant to keep
the American colonies obedient to Great Britain. Prime Minister Robert Walpole stated that ³If no
restrictions were placed on the colonies, they would flourish. ́ This policy, which began in 1607 after the
founding of Jamestown, allowed the colonies to avoid obeying many laws and was lenient on the colonies
in enforcing many taxes and laws. Later, the British ended this policy through acts such as the Stamp Act
and Sugar Act, causing tensions within the colonies.
The Enlightenment
The 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. The purpose of
the proclamation was to organize Great Britain's new North American empire and to help relations with
Native Americans by forbidding colonists to move west of the Appalachian Mountains.
