Question 15 • SD-Early US History A

How did the colonists’ rejection of the Proclamation of 1763 affect American Indians?

Answer
A
American Indians were forced to fight the colonists for control of British forts.
B
More and more settlers moved onto American Indian lands.
C
American Indians were not allowed to move west.

Explanation

The Proclamation of 1763 was meant to keep colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains, where American Indian lands lay. Colonists rejected the restriction and continued moving west, so increasing numbers of settlers occupied American Indian lands. The correct choice is “More and more settlers moved onto American Indian lands.”
