Importance of the Royal Proclamation of 1763

 

The main focus now is the process of assimilating the French people in hope that in the future the French people would come to adopt the religious faith and accept the political views and values of their new British authorities. The growing number of Protestant church and schools is in a steady growth as an effort to massively convert the majority of the French population. This procedure will facilitate the abolishment of the Roman Catholicism amongst the population. The ambitious conversion imposed by the civil government is a hard goal to achieve. The government simply cannot apply enough pressure to the entire French population to abandon their original culture and religion and to expect them to embrace a whole new one. James Murray started to question the civilian governmental structure. The Royal Proclamation contains a condition that imposed a formation of Canadian Roman Catholics from participating in the government. The Governor in Chief realized about 200 government officials who are British Protestants would be creating laws for the largely French Roman Catholics populated colony, who out number the Protestant population to some 70,000 people. They took for granted that the entire population would wish to assimilate.
             An important aspect of the Royal Proclamation is the Indian provision that gives the aboriginals a separate Indian territory. This was the result of the Pontiac rebellion by the aboriginals of the Great Lakes who feared that their rights would be affected by the British conquest of New France. As the result of this open rebellion, Britain promised and guaranteed the aboriginals their territory and keeps the Europeans away from their territory.
