  1. He was attempting to create peace between the Indians and the colonists and keep the colonists from moving further into Indian lands. It was a very logical attempt. The ultimate outcome was the colonists were angry the king because he limited their room for expansion by putting them against a wall.

  2. In creating the Proclamation Line, King George III hoped to make a significant step forward in creating harmony and cooperation between the British colonists and the Native Americans. As a mother sometimes does for her children, George III drew this boundary so that neither party would encroach or bother the other. This wasn't much, but it was a step in the right direction seeing as how a problem that has lasted for more than a century cannot be solved with an overnight decision. Unfortunately, this decision didn't amount to much, as the Natives and settlers both bounced back and forth over the line, almost completely disregarding the Crown's rule.

  3. The Proclamation Line was an idea to keep the Indians in their territories while keeping colonists in their territory. King George III wanted peace between "his people", and it wasn't a necessarily logical attempt, but at least he was trying to solve their problems. The Proclamation Line was eventually ignored from the lack of enforcement.

  4. The Proclamation Line of 1763 was a line that King George III created attempting separate the colonist and Native Americans. The Proclamation of 1763 was an honest attempt to bring peace between the colonist and Native Americans. The colonist became angered because they felt as if their King was siding with the Native Americans by giving them more land. The Native Americans felt that they did not have a reason to listen to the king.

  5. In 1763 the young and inexperienced King George III established a definite line that acted as a border between colonists and the acquired french territory.King George implemented this line as a means to enforce peace between the colonists, and the Indian nations gained from the victory in the French and Indian war. While the kings intentions where founded on peace, the line ultimately resulted in violence and resentment. The colonists where astonished that the king would have the gall to limit their resources after a war, and resign them into debt.

  6. King George was trying to make peace between the Indians and the Settlers. He gave the Indians some of their land back while containing the colonist to a centralized area. The attempt was logical on paper but did not do much to make peace. It upset the colonist because more British troops were brought into the colonies. It also upset the Indians because they did not have all of their land and was still oppressed by the colonist. The line resulted in tension between each party and the government, which would mean trouble in future years.

  7. Many people claim their use of slander as a constitutional right. However, the use of slander is not a right guaranteed by the United States Constitution, and should be stopped.

  8. The Proclamation Line of 1763 was an unsophisticated attempt to create peace between the American colonies and Native Americans. King George III was trying to limit colonial expansion to appease the tribes. He also thought that this Proclamation Line would limit intrusions and end costly wars. All the American colonist wanted was for Great Britain to stay out of North American affairs. The Proclamation Line drove a wedge between American colonists and Great Britain, living the American colonist unhappy.

  9. King George III's attempt to settle disputes between the British Colonist and the Indians was the Proclamation Line of 1763. The Proclamation drew an invisible line dividing territories, and stated that neither group could cross into the others territory. At first, this plan seemed to be a logical attempt but it quickly backfired on King George III. The colonist had just fought a war to expand their territories, and the King was now limiting expansion. Many colonists took the Proclamation Line as a temporary solution; and therefore ignored it to suit their needs.

  10. The Proclamation Line of 1763 was established to divide British-ruled territory between Indians and British settlers. The goal of King George III was to stop the conflicts that had arisen between the colonists due to the French and Indian War. It was not a very logical attempt, because settlers began ignoring the Proclamation Line.

  11. King George III was trying to end war over borderlines between the Indians and the colonists. It was a logical attempt: he thought that the Proclamation Line of 1763 would pacify both parties. He wanted peace. However, his plan did not go over well with the colonists. The colonists were angered because they lost the opportunity to expand.

  12. The purpose of the Proclamation of 1763 was to organize Great Britain's new North American empire and to stabilize relations with Native North Americans through regulation of trade, settlement, and land purchases on the western frontier. King George III attempted to calm the fears of the Indians, who felt that the colonists would drive them from their lands as they expanded westward. This attempt was illogical. Many people ignored it.

  13. King George III attempted to create peace between the colonists and Native Americans. It seemed very logical to create the Proclamation Line of 1763. However, the colonists resented the idea of the Proclamation Line because it kept them from expanding into their new land which they just conquered in the war.

  14. The Proclamation Line of 1763 was an attempt in creating a peaceful harmony among the colonists and Native Americans. The problem with the Line was that it forced borders among colonial people that were attempting to expand further west. The attempt by king George was unpopular among many. Many colonists felt that King George was showing more appeasement to the Native Americans than his own people.

  15. King George III created the Proclamation Line at an attempt to create peace between the Native Americans and the colonists. It ultimately failed because both parties became angry with the line. The colonists had won the war and were entitled to the land the King had just given away. The attempt was logical but did not work.

  16. The proclamation line of 1763 was created to divide territory between the Indians and British settlers. King George III's goal was to create peace, however his plan did not succeed.

  17. The Proclamation Line of 1763 was created to make a division between the Indians and British. King George III was trying to create peace by dividing their territories, but his attempts proved unsuccessful. The line began as a particularly logical attempt, but because each side wanted to extend their living areas into the other's territories, it failed. The colonists did not approve of this proclamation, and continued to roam freely among both sides of the line.

  18. The proclamation line of 1763 was intended to stabilize the relationships between the Native Americans and the colonists. King George III had the best of intentions, but his intentions did not pan out as well as he had hoped. The colonists did not like the King's line, therefore it was not successful.

  19. The Proclamation Line of 1763 was a logical and resourceful move on the part of King George III. The line was crafted by placing the British army in a series of abandoned French forts, which was meant to result in a separation of Native American and British colonial territory. By creating this line, King George hoped to stabilize relations with the Native Americans, and so bring peace between his colonies and the Native people. Although, King George's attempt was nothing short of ingenious, it ultimately failed because the colonists refused to cooperate with the new terms for fear of losing their ability to expand westward in the new frontier of America.

  20. King George III established the Proclamation Line to disable the colonists from encroaching on Native American lands. The Proclamation Line was logical in the way he tried to cease the expansion of colonist lands onto Indian land, however, his plan was not successful due to the lack of cooperation from the colonists.

  21. King George III created the Proclamation Line in 1763 in order to create peace in North America. The Proclamation Line, which ran along the Appalachian crest, was supposed to protect the King's people, whether they were Native Americans or colonists. The decision was logical and allowed peace to be obtained by both sides. However, King George III angered the colonists by restricting their ability to expand and saw it as a limitation from the government to control them.

  22. I believe the Proclamation of 1763 was a very smart action taken by King George III, because the drawing of boundaries between colonial and Indian territory was meant to avoid any more wars between both parties. The king was trying to a peace colonists by making sure no Indian was to cross the limits, and vice versa. In the end, the Proclamation didn't fulfill its purpose, for colonists wanted to expand west with no interest on the native American's lives.

  23. The Proclamation Line of 1763 was created by King George III, which was a line between the territories of the Indians and the British colonists. Therefore, he wanted to colonists to stop encroaching on the Indians land. The King made this plan to create peace, which was a very logical stand point. However, this plan of the King's failed because of the colonists wanted to further expand their territory.

  24. King George III instituted the Proclamation Line of 1763 in order to create peace between the colonists and the Native Americans. Although this plan was logical, it was unsuccessful. The colonists were furious because the line of division prevented them from expanding their territory. Furthermore, the Native Americans were angry because they believed that King George III was trying to impose his will on them. Thus, both the colonists and the Native Americans felt cheated.

  25. The Proclamation Line of 1763 was an attempt by King George III of England to end disputes between the American Colonists and Natives. He said that no colonists may encroach eastwards over the line, and no Natives may go westwards. This seemed logical to the king, but ultimately failed. The Natives failed to recognize the authority of a European monarch, while the Colonists were angered because it limited their expansion. It was just one of the many contributors to the bitter feeling of resentment the Colonists would eventually acquire towards their Mother Country.

  26. The Proclamation Line of 1763 was created by King George III in an attempt to organize Great Britan's North American empire and to stabalize interactions with Native Americans. The king's attempt was logical however, the overall outcome was a failure. The colonists became angry, and they were not able to further expand thier territory.

  27. King George III created the line in the Proclamation of 1763 to try and bring peace to both the Native Americans and the colonists. In theory this line would have worked and kept both sides at bay, but the colonists were angered because they could not expand further west, and ultimately failed.

  28. The purpose for the proclamation was to organize Great Britain's new american empire and stablize relations with Native Americans through regulation of lade ownership, trade, and settlement on the western frontier. Besides regulating colonial expansion, the proclaimation dealt with the management of newly ceded colonies. King George III's attempt was unsuccessful and unproductive.
