Question: Why did King George III give the west of the Appalachian Mountains to the Native Americans!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
He didn't essentially "give" the Native Americans the land!. He set up the law called the Proclamation of 1763 which did not allow the colonists to travel across an imaginary line, which was the Appalachian mountains!. He did this because the Native Americans were constantly attacking the colonists for settling on their land!. So the law was there to protect colonists!. However this law made the colonists very angry because they just had a war over this land with the French and their Indian allies, so they wanted to settle there!.

So he can keep peace with the Eastern Native American Nations instead of constant guerilla war which is very taxing especially after the Seven Years War/ French Indian WarWww@QuestionHome@Com
