The proclamation was announced as a temp control, its economic benefits for Britain prompted ministers to keep it until the eve of the Revolutionary War. A desire for good farmland caused many colonists to defy the proclamation; others merely resented the royal restrictions on trade and migration. Finally, the Proclamation of 1763 failed to stem the tide of westward expansion.
