Cause of the American Revolution

Pitt decides to fund the war through the British Treasury and through loans. This relieves the American colonists from fronting the bill for the war. However, after the war is over, Britain must settle its debts and pay for a standing army in America. In order to do this they decide to have the colonists bear some of the burden for their own defense.

Cause of the American Revolution

The Proclamation of 1763

Proclaimed that land west of the Appalachian Mountains temporarily off limits to settlements.

British Halt Westward Expansion to minimize costs in maintaining a military force to secure the Frontier.
