a new colony, named charlotina, was proposed for the southern great lakes region. however, facing armed opposition by native americans, the british issued the proclamation of 1763, which prohibited white colonial settlement west of the appalachian mountains. this action angered american colonists interested in expansion, as well as those who had already settled in the area. in 1774, by the quebec act, britain annexed the region to the province of quebec in order to provide a civil government and to centralize british administration of the montreal-based fur trade. the prohibition of settlement west of the appalachians remained, contributing to the american revolution.
