Question 8 • GA-GSE Grade 8 Georgia Studies

What was the effect of the Proclamation of 1763 on Georgia?

Answer
A
It angered Georgians, who then rose in rebellion.
B
It had little effect because most Georgians lived far from the proclamation line.
C
It had little effect because most Georgians already lived in the mountains.
D
It pleased Georgians, who wanted protection from American Indian attacks.

Explanation

The Proclamation of 1763 barred British colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains. Most Georgians lived east of the proclamation line, so the restriction affected relatively few of them. Therefore, it had little effect because most Georgians lived far from the line.
