How did the proclamation line to push the colonies toward war with britain

Proclamation Line or 1763 was not a popular item with the colonists. They had just come through the French-Indian War where the French ceded the land where the colonists could move westward. So, the king of England didnt want the colonists to move westward and disturb and already enraged Native population. The colonists did not see this a measure to keep them safe but more of a measure to keep them close to the East coast so England could regulate them. The king declared colonists must fund these posts which did not go over well. They felt like the king was just trying to hem them in and ask them to pay for patrols that would do just that. When the Proclamation was followed by different taxing acts, the colonists rebelled about the tightening "apron strings" of England
