To determine the true or false responses for each statement about the colonists' reactions to the Proclamation of 1763, we need to consider the historical facts.
1. True: Georgians were unaffected by the proclamation because Georgia was already considered a British colony, and the proclamation primarily affected the western lands that were being acquired by the British after the French and Indian War.
2. False: Colonists were not primarily angry because the crown was protecting the American Indians. The main source of their anger was the restrictions placed on their own westward expansion and land speculation opportunities.
3. True: Many colonists believed that the King was trying to keep them close to the Atlantic coast to exert more control over them. The proclamation explicitly forbade settlement beyond the Appalachian Mountains, which limited colonists' freedom and expansion.
4. False: Colonists were generally displeased with the proclamation because it restricted their access to the western lands. They saw this as a hindrance to their opportunities for land ownership and economic growth. They did not necessarily view it as an opportunity to peacefully share the new lands with Native Americans.
