This educational illustration shows a parchment scroll declaring the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which prohibited British colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains to stabilize relations with Indigenous nations. The background map highlights the newly drawn boundary in green, contrasting with settled eastern colonies, and includes a Native American motif on the scroll’s left edge. Produced by Discovery Education, it serves as a teaching aid for U.S. colonial history.
