Question

question 3 of 10
the proclamation line issued by king george iii:
a. increased the number of british troops in the colonies.
b. forced settlers from the appalachian mountains.
c. allowed colonists to settle most of north america.
d. threatened native american lands.

Explanation:

The Proclamation of 1763 issued by King George III was a royal proclamation that prohibited colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. This forced settlers who had already moved into those areas (the Appalachian mountains region) to return east. It was mainly to avoid conflicts with Native Americans and manage the newly acquired territories after the French and Indian War.

• Option A: The proclamation itself was not about increasing the number of British troops. Troop presence might have been related to enforcement but that's not the main direct impact of the proclamation line.
• Option C: It restricted, not allowed, colonists to settle most of North America (west of the Appalachians).
• Option D: It was supposed to protect Native - American lands (at least on paper) by restricting colonial settlement.

Answer:

B. forced settlers from the Appalachian mountains.
