The period between 1763 and 1776 was a time where many areas of disagreement developed between the colonists and the British policy makers. The major areas of disagreement were caused by the British rules imposed on the colonies that prevented expansion, imposed taxation and limited colonial liberty. The first dispute was right after the Seven Years War (1756-1763) with the Proclamation of 1763. According to ushistory.org, the colonists, after the war, felt entitled and excited to begin settling
Holton makes it evident how those who were involved in land speculation in the 1760s in the Ohio River Valley had much to lose and how the enactment of the Proclamation of 1763 effectively nullified and voided any previous claims on native land, which disfavored colonists, and ultimately lead to war for Independence.

The British sought to maintain peaceful relations with those Indian tribes that had allied with the French, and keep them separated from the American frontiersmen. To this end, the Royal Proclamation of 1763 restricted settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains as this was designated an Indian Reserve. Disregarding the proclamation, some groups of settlers continued
The French and India War prompted the Revolutionary War in two ways. Initially, financing this war prompted a colossal national obligation for Great Britain, which they felt the Americans ought to pay. Parliament chose to benefit the obligation by passing the Stamp Act, an unpleasant disappointment which irritated natives on both sides of the Atlantic and started the crack amongst Britain and its pioneers.
