Explanation:
This is the statement that best expresses the dominant sentiment among colonists. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King George III after Great Britain's acquisition of French territory in North America. The acquisition and proclamation were a consequence of the Seven Years' War. The proclamation forbade settlements west of a line drawn along the Appalachian Mountains, as this was considered an Indian Reserve.
