Question

how did colonists react to the proclamation of 1763?
they were angry that britain had limited the area available for settlement.
they were angry that they were expected to farm new territory.
they were pleased to have new guidelines about territory for settlement.
they were grateful to have more british ships bringing goods to ports.

Explanation:

The Proclamation of 1763 restricted colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. Colonists had fought in the French and Indian War (part of the Seven Years' War) expecting to expand westward for land. Limiting settlement area went against their expectations. Option 2 is wrong as they weren't forced to farm new territory (restriction was on settlement). Option 3 is incorrect as they weren't pleased (it was a restriction). Option 4 is about trade (ships bringing goods) which is unrelated to the Proclamation's settlement restriction.

Answer:

They were angry that Britain had limited the area available for settlement.
