The territory lay west of the Eastern Continental Divide. Map of Rupert's Land. In Canada the land formed a small strip between the Great Lakes and Rupert's Land The Indian Reserve was a territory under British rule in North America set aside in the Royal Proclamation of 1763 for use by American Indians between 1763 and 1783. In the modern United States it consisted of all the territory north of Florida and New Orleans that was east of the Mississippi River and west of the Eastern Continental Divide in the Appalachian Mountains that formerly comprised the eastern half of Louisiana (New France). In modern Canada it consisted of all the land immediately north of the Great Lakes but south of Rupert's Land land belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company as well as a buffer between the Province of Quebec (1763–1791) and Rupert's Land stretching from Lake Nipissing to Newfoundland. Most of the newly British territory had been claimed earlier by France but was ceded in the Treaty of Paris (1763) that ended the French and Indian War/Seven Years' War. In the Proclamation of 1763 George III consolidated much of the new territorial gains in three colonies in North America—East Florida, West Florida, and Quebec. The rest of the expanded British territory was left to American Indians. The proclamation also temporarily resolved jurisdictional claims for some of the areas near the Thirteen Colonies on the east coast. According to the royal proclamation, all settlers in the territory (who were mostly French) were supposed to leave the territory or get official permission to stay. Many of the settlers moved to New Orleans and the French land on the west side of the Mississippi (particularly St. Louis) which in turn had been ceded secretly to Spain to become Louisiana (New Spain). However, many of the settlers remained and the British did not actively attempt to evict them. Restrictions on settlement in the land was to become a flash point in the American Revolutionary War. The revoking of the lands at the end of the war, was to continue to be a source of friction for the American Indians who were to largely side against the United States in the War of 1812.
