what is the proclamation of 1763?

Proclamation of 1763\nThe end of the French and Indian War in 1763 was a cause for great celebration in the colonies, for it removed several ominous barriers and opened up a host of new opportunities for the colonists. The French had effectively hemmed in the British settlers and had, from the perspective of the settlers, played the "Indians" against them. The first thing on the minds of colonists was the great western frontier that had opened to them when the French ceded that contested territory to the British. The royal proclamation of 1763 did much to dampen that celebration. The proclamation, in effect, closed off the frontier to colonial expansion. The King and his council presented the proclamation as a measure to calm the fears of the Indians, who felt that the colonists would drive them from their lands as they expanded westward. Many in the colonies felt that the object was to pen them in along the Atlantic seaboard where they would be easier to regulate. No doubt there was a large measure of truth in both of these positions. However the colonists could not help but feel a strong resentment when what they perceived to be their prize was snatched away from them. The proclamation provided that all lands west of the heads of all rivers which flowed into the Atlantic Ocean from the west or northwest were off-limits to the colonists. This excluded the rich Ohio Valley and all territory from the Ohio to the Mississippi rivers from settlement.\n\nThe proclamation also established or defined four new colonies, three of them on the continent proper. Quebec, which was of course already well settled, two colonies to be called East Florida and West Florida — and off the continent, Grenada. These facts were established immediately, but most of the proclamation is devoted to the subject of Indians and Indian lands. It asserted that all of the Indian peoples were thereafter under the protection of the King. It required that all lands within the "Indian territory" occupied by Englishmen were to be abandoned. It included a list of prohibited activities, provided for enforcement of the new laws, and indicted unnamed persons for fraudulent practices in acquiring lands from the Indians in times past. Resolution of the hostilities of the French and Indian War was a difficult problem for the crown. Most of the Indian tribes had been allied with the French during the war, because they found the French less hostile and generally more trustworthy that the English settlers. Now the French would depart, and the Indians were left behind to defend themselves and their grounds as best they could. Relations between the Indians and the English colonials were so poor that few settlers would argue in public that the Indians had rights to any lands. In this proclamation the King sided with the Indians, against the perceived interests of the settlers. Moreover, it provided, and Parliament soon after executed, British royal posts along the proclamation boundary. Parliament was under no illusions about relations between the Indians and the colonists. They understood that the colonists would not respect the boundary without some enforcement mechanism. Finally, the English were interested in improving the fur trade, which involved the Indians and independent trappers who lived out on the frontier.\n\nThe Proclamation line extended from the Atlantic coast at Quebec to the newly established border of West Florida. Establishing and manning posts along the length of this boundary was a very costly undertaking. The British ministry would argue that these outposts were for colonial defense, and as such should be paid for by the colonies. From the American perspective this amounted to a tax on the colonies to pay for a matter of Imperial regulation that was opposed to the interests of the colonies.

None.  It was enacted as a response to the searches carried out by England which were the primary reason for the revolutionary wat.  England was issuing "writs of assistance" to customs officers to combat the growing problem of smuggling to avoid taxes paid to England.

Go back to our roots.   The Declaration of Independence, Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  \n\nWe were founded by rebels who wanted free religion seperate from government and declared it a basic human right to pursue happiness in equality with all.\n\nOur beginning is quite beautiful...we have fallen off the road somehow.  Jefferson said when Capitalism surpasses Democracy we will become  disfunctional. ...Guess what?

<There is no such thing.You probably meant Emancipation Proclamation. Emancipation Proclamation, in U.S. history, the executive order abolishing slavery in the Confederate States of America.\n\nOn Jan. 1, 1863, the formal and definite Emancipation Proclamation was issued. The President, by virtue of his powers as commander in chief, declared free all those slaves residing in territory in rebellion against the federal government as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion. Congress, in effect, had done as much in its confiscation acts of Aug., 1861, and July, 1862, but its legislation did not have the popular appeal of the Emancipation Proclamation—despite the great limitations of the proclamation, which did not affect slaves in those states that had remained loyal to the Union or in territory of the Confederacy that had been reconquered. These were freed in other ways (see slavery). Nor did the proclamation have any immediate effect in the vast area over which the Confederacy retained control. Confederate leaders, however, feared that it would serve as an incitement to insurrection and denounced it.

We celebrate it as Independence day because we declared our Independence from the King of Englands rule and not because the Declaration of Independence was written.  The Declaration was a tool for our Independence.  The military fighting men were what freed us from England.

From the Preamble of the US Constitution (basically like a mission statement for the US Goverment)\n\nAt the time that it was written, Enlightenment thinkers believed the legitimate job of government was to protect citizen's lives, basic freedoms, and the ability to do things like earn a living.  \n\n"blessings of liberty" would be the rhetoric for basic freedoms like speech and religion.  It ties into the rhetoric of being endowed inalienable right from the creator, etc. from the Declaration of Independence, as in blessings from god (creator) as part of inalienable rights.

The motto\n\nCanada's motto "A Mari usque ad Mare" (From sea to sea) is based on biblical scripture: "He shall have dominion from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth (Psalm 72:8)". The first official use of this motto came in 1906 when it was engraved on the head of the mace of the Legislative Assembly of the new Province of Saskatchewan. The wording of the motto came to the attention of Sir Joseph Pope, then Under Secretary of State, who was impressed with its meaning. He later proposed it as motto for the new design of the coat of arms, which was approved by Order in Council on April 21, 1921 and by Royal Proclamation on November 21, 1921.\n\nThe motto of Canada, official since 1921, was suggested as early as 1866 by Sir Samuel Tilley, New Brunswick politico, and a father of Confederation. He drew it from the Old Testament, Psalm 72. In St. Jerome’s Latin version of Holy Writ, called the Vulgate, the passage reads “et dominabitur a mari usque ad mare.” The King James translation is “and he shall have dominion also from sea to sea.”\n\nAs nitpickers, we may note Elizabethan scholars mistranslation of the Latin adverb usque as ‘also.’ It is a particle placed before the preposition ad to give a kind of poetic emphasis to the meaning of the preposition. This results in the more appropriate rendering into English of ‘from sea yea onto sea’ or ‘from one sea all the way through to another sea.’ Not better English but a better sense of the Latin. \n\nBased on the same Biblical passage, Tilley said the new country should be not the kingdom of Canada, but rather the Dominion of Canada. And so it became in the text of the British North America Act.

The Declaration of Independence was written to declare our nation's freedom. It was written so that our country could have a choice of religion, freedom of speech, and all the other freedoms we sometimes don't give thanks for and take for granted.
