Spanish

Spanish missionaries saw Native

PROJECT

After the Seven Years' War (also known as the French and Indian War), King George III issued the Proclamation of 1763. The Proclamation of 1763 created a boundary line between colonists and Native Americans in Great Britain's newly acquired North American territories. The proclamation forbade colonists from crossing the line and settling on western lands and prohibited colonial officials from giving out land grants without the king's approval.

Many objected because some colonists had settled beyond the boundary line before 1763. The proclamation would require that they leave. Great Britain also gave preferential treatment to British officers who wanted to settle beyond the boundary line.

The reaction? Colonists and land speculators petitioned Parliament, which resulted in the boundary line being moved back.

In 1765, the British Parliament enacted the Stamp Act as a means of raising colonial tax revenues to help defray the cost of the French and Indian War in North American

The reaction? Asserting that the Stamp Act was an attempt to raise money in the colonies without the approval of colonial legislatures. Resistance to the act was demonstrated through debates in the colonial legislatures, written documents (including legislative resolves, prints, and songs), and mob/crowd actions such as tarring and feathering tax collectors..
