Question

british colonists objected to the proclamation of 1763 because they —
f. resented the limits it imposed on westward expansion
g. wanted to be able to trade freely with foreign nations
h. feared it would provoke attacks from american indians
j. did not want to share control of the fur trade with france

Explanation:

The Proclamation of 1763 was issued by Britain after the French and Indian War. It prohibited colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. British colonists wanted to expand westward for land, resources, and new opportunities. This proclamation restricted their westward expansion plans.

• Option G: Trade with foreign nations was more related to other British policies like the Navigation Acts rather than the Proclamation of 1763.
• Option H: The proclamation was partly to avoid conflicts with Native Americans (American Indians), not to provoke them. Colonists were more concerned about the limit on expansion than fear of provoking attacks due to the proclamation itself.
• Option J: The fur - trade and control over it was more of an issue during the French and Indian War. After the war (when the proclamation was issued), France had ceded a lot of territory in North - America, and the fur - trade control was not the main issue with the proclamation.

Answer:

F. resented the limits it imposed on westward expansion
