Great vid. Appreciate the maps and visuals that pertain to the proclamation. Brings a interesting perspective to the document

As always, great maps and visuals Impressed by the significance of the water ways - how they defined territories and were so critical with importing and exporting to their well being

Great video! Thank you for sharing your awesomeness! Wish you were my history teacher in school!

Enjoying this series of videos. Hope there’s a follow up from 1763 leading up to the Declaration of Independence. 👍

@@JeffreytheLibrarian I'm very glad to hear this. I very much enjoyed your videos, from 1565 to 1763.

The history lessons from this channel are AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! --- I’m 70-years-old. WHY had I never heard of the “Proclamation of 1763” before????? --- I love the organization and presentation on this channel, with moving dots, close-in shots, mixed with occasional high-level views. Good job! Well done! Warning: I’m a “Conspiracy Dude” (Grew up believing for 12 1/2 years, that Oswald was a “Lone Nut Assassin”, UNTIL Zapruder Film was shown in 1975.). --- This Channel is the BEST RAW MATERIAL, to provide the REAL reasons for our History. --- This is just me. The REAL REASON for the “Revolutionary War”, had nuthin’ to do “Taxation without Representation” or “Tea Parties”. Those were just “Excuses”. --- The REAL REASON for the “Revolutionary War”, was to VACATE the “Proclamation of 1763”, so that the Ohio Company could “LEGALLY” (I use that term loosely.) occupy land, west of the Appalachians. --- Beware of the word, “Legal”. In reality, the word “Legal” just means, “Who’s got the guns, jails, and handcuffs?” In NAZI Germany, the “Holocaust” was “Legal”. Holocaust did not become “Criminal”, until the Allies took over, and a new “Court of man” was instituted. --- Without one shred of evidence, you can bet your bottom dollar, that there were powerful “Banking” and “Finance” companies in LONDON, supporting the “Revolution”. That’s how “Deep State” works. Pass Laws and make proclamations that are altruistic, then finance the pretend OPPONENTS, to gain the Resources. --- “Deep State” doesn’t care who the so-called “Authority” is, as long as “Deep State” is in control.

Thank you. Certain founding fathers like Washington were definitely invested in western speculation, and so the king's proclamation would be another reason why certain founders wanted to break away. Also, lots of folks think Oswald was the fall guy--that might even be the mainstream opinion among regular folks.

@@JeffreytheLibrarian Hi Jeffrey! Good video. I'm starting to think that the word "History", could be replaced with "Carpetbagging 101".

The Crown’s limits on colonial expansion, respecting Native American sovereignty, was the greatest actual cause of the Revolutionary War. It’s not coincidental, either, that George Washington was a surveyor.

It was about taxation without representation when the King wanted the colonist to bare the burden of his war. You are wrong. Learn your history.

@@Bland-79 There were many other factors much more important than the taxation “causus belli.” (Washington DC, to this day, has taxation without representation, after all.) Destroyed cities also played a big part, in several ways. The city of Falmouth, MA, (now the site of Portland, Maine) was blown up by the British navy, an atrocity that made it into the Declaration of Independence. New Englanders were also forced to serve in a British expeditionary force to Louisbourg, New France (the site is now Cape Breton, Nova Scotia), successfully bringing about its surrender, but costing more American lives-only to have the British Crown horse-trade the city back to the French, necessitating another, second expedition to finally blow that city up, too, costing even more American lives-the list goes on and on. But the biggie was the possibility of a major land grab. What quickly became America’s “Manifest Destiny” was the enticement for a few key Americans of getting much richer.

To every field officer, 7.8 sections or square MILES, to every Captain, 4.7 square miles, to every staff officer, 3.1 square miles. But then, to every non comm officer, only a 1/4 of a section (160 a.) plus another quarter of a quarter (40 a.) or 1/3 square mile and to every private man, 50 acres, or just over one quarter of one quarter of a square mile! What a lopsided division when all of that stolen land was available to grant. The class struggle carried over from Britain.

Is it just me or is East Florida really West Florida? I live in Florida and its a little strange that you would call the side of Florida that is up against the Gulf to be called East.

So patronizing. Like the people of any age want to exchange freedom for “paternal care.” Ridiculous. Thanks for posting!

It isn't comparable to babysitting for an evening. Without British defence in the 7 years War, France and Spain absolutely Would have invaded and crushed the 13 colonies,at that time

When are you going to continue with the American Revolution?

So if they weren’t loving…. They don’t have to abide? Or is it “LoviNg” under military submission?

It seems the US Congress passed similar laws themselves after the establishment of the federal government.

That’s sought, not fought. Yes, that’s is written with an F, but I assure you it’s spoken as an S.

The Revolutionary War was about taxation without representation when the King wanted the colonist to bare the burden of his war and not Britain.

Not quite, The Seven Years War was a global affair. Everyone in the British Empire had their taxes raised, not just North America. The cost of maintaining a standing army in the Americas after the French were defeated was more controversial.

"His war?" If Britain didn't defend the colonies they absolutely would have been attacked and taken by the French and/or Spanish. The taxation was completely reasonable - The war occurred only due to opportunistic demagogues with rhetorical eloquence completely overturning what was a lack of independence desire generally

Biggest mistake ever

Just imagine if the American Colonies never extended beyond this proclamation and held to that standard after the War for Independence. Really makes you wonder what America could have been if we had just honored the Native American lands and had allowed them to live their own way. Was war with the Native population always a forgone conclusion?
