The American colonists didn’t like when the British government passed on the Proclamation Act because any colonists who lived by the western side of the Appalachian Mountains, the colonists were forced to settle in the western side of the mountains. The American colonists were also angry because the colonists were forbidden to settle there as well. The American colonists didn’t have a right to say about this decision. This law banned the American colonists to settle in the west of the Appalachians because the British leaders were feared that there might be more fighting if colonists kept moving onto American Indian lands. The Proclamation Act led to the negative reaction that the American colonists had towards the British government.
