The law that forbade colonists to move west of the Appalachian Mountains was the Proclamation of 1763. This was issued by King George III of Britain. The proclamation aimed to stabilize the situation in North America by preventing further conflict between colonists and Native American tribes. The British government sought to regulate westward expansion and prevent settlers from moving onto tribal lands without proper treaties, which was a major point of contention leading to the American Revolution.
