“The
Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King
George III on 7 October 1763. It followed the
Treaty of Paris (1763), which formally ended the
Seven Years' War and transferred
French territory in North America to
Great Britain.
[1] The Proclamation forbade all settlements west of a line drawn along the
Appalachian Mountains, which was delineated as an
Indian Reserve.
[2] Exclusion from the vast region of
Trans-Appalachiacreated 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.
[3] The 1763 proclamation line is situated similar to the
Eastern Continental Divide, extending from
Georgia to the divide's northern terminus near the middle of the northern border of Pennsylvania, where it intersects the northeasterly
St. Lawrence Divide, and extends further through
New England.”

Not a moot point in the slightest, since it demonstrates, quite clearly, that this country was built on illegal settlement. I get that you are too stupid to grasp even basic historical facts though
