- and its colonies:the Proclamation of 1763 & the Stamp Act.France and England fought for the rich fur region of Ohio River Valley. After the British won the French and Indian War, the British obtained Canada and west of the Mississippi River. Due to the economic cost of the war, Britain's colonies started a revolution against Britain. (Proclamation of 1763 & Stamp Act)
- Declaration of Independence
- The Proclamation was issued in order to stabilize relations between Great Britain and the American Indian tribes that lived in the river valley. The British could not afford to fight in another costly war, but the people who participated in the war were hoping of owning new western land. So, the people ignored the Proclamation and settled in the valley anyway. Colonists were being directly taxed for the first time without colonial “representation” in the British Parliament.

The second part is a list that details why the colonies deemed independence necessary. The final part is where the colonists officially severed ties from Great Britain, the mother country.
