caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Östliches Nordamerika im Jahre 1775 mit der vom Königreich Großbritannien kontrollierten Provinz Quebec und den dreizehn Kolonien an der Küste sowie dem von diesen durch die Proklamationslinie von 1763 abgeschiedene Indian Reserve (siehe auch: Britische Kolonisierung Amerikas). English: Eastern North America in 1775: The map shows part of the British Province of Quebec, the British thirteen colonies on the Atlantic coast, the interior Indian Reserve, and parts of New Spain. Some colonies claimed land further west, but only the areas shown in red were legally open to settlement by European-Americans, due to the Royal Proclamation of 1763). East Florida and West Florida had been acquired by Britain from Spain, and did not join the American Revolution the next year. Italiano: Nel 1775, l'Inghilterra aveva il dominio sulle zone indicate in rosso e rosa sulla mappa e la Spagna su quelle arancione. La zona rossa è quella relativa alle 13 colonie aperte agli insediamenti dopo la proclamazione del 1763.
context_page_description: The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King George III on October 7, 1763, following Great Britain's acquisition of French territory in North America after the end of the Seven Years' War. It forbade all settlement west of a line drawn along the Appalachian Mountains, which was delineated as an Indian Reserve. Exclusion from the vast region of Trans-Appalachia created discontent between Britain and colonial land speculators and potential settlers. The proclamation and access to western lands was one of the first significant areas of dispute between Britain and the colonies and would become a contributing factor leading to the American Revolution.
  The Royal Proclamation continues to be of legal importance to First Nations in Canada. The 1763 proclamation line is similar to the Eastern Continental Divide's path running northwards from Georgia to the Pennsylvania–New York border and north-eastwards past the drainage divide on the St. Lawrence Divide from there northwards through New England.
