Why did colonists dislike the Proclamation of 1763?

The colonists IGNORED the Royal Proclamation of 1763 more
than they simply "disliked" it. A number of aristocratic Americans, such as George
Washington and Benjamin Franklin, had enormous claims to land in that area, and hoped to
re-sell it for a profit. Since the Proclamation would have interfered with their right
to do so, they simply ignored it.

Additionally, since the
Proclamation put those who moved there away from any legal authority--somewhat as the
Pilgrims experienced by landing at Plymouth--they were under no authority, as well as
outside the reach of creditors. Many, such as Daniel Boone, moved to that area for no
other reason than to avoid creditors, since the law would not reach that area. Also,
with the population growing, the call of unclaimed land was to great to
resist.

So the colonists were not really "angered," nor did
this directly lead to the revolution. They simply ignored it, as they had earlier done
with the Navigation Acts. The only people to be truly "angered" were the Indians who
believed that the Proclamation would preclude further European settlement. They were of
course disappointed.
