LB expanding border - a historical interpretation

[historix69]

A mayor source of conflict between british colonists and the King in the time after end of "French and Indian War" and before Revolution was the question of the western frontier ...
- Since the French and Indian War caused a big deficit in the king's budget, the king's policy was to consolidate and to avoid military conflicts with neighbours and natives to reduce costs ... Laws were issued to forbid uncontrolled expansion by colonists taking/buying land from the natives which sooner or later would cause another war with the natives ...
- On the other side there were about 2 millions of colonists stacked in the colonies who put pressure on the western frontier, eager to settle the land on the other side of the border ... The official British fixed-border-policy was not accepted and caused a growing resentment among the colonists against the British policy which contributed to the Revolutionary Spirit.

By producing Liberty Bells (LB) in Col2, the player is able to rebel against the homelands official fixed-borders-policy and can push away the native tribes, clearing the land for new colonists settlements ... as it happened after WoI in history, too.

"The Proclamation of 1763 was issued October 7, 1763 by King George III following Great Britain's acquisition of French territory in North America after the end of the French and Indian War/Seven Years' War. The purpose of the proclamation was to establish Britain's vast new North American empire, and to stabilize relations with Native Americans through regulation of trade, settlement, and land purchases on the western frontier. The Proclamation in essence forbade colonists of the thirteen colonies from settling or buying land west of the Appalachian Mountains. This led to considerable outrage in the colonies, as many colonists had already acquired land in that region. Additionally, the Proclamation gave the Crown a monopoly in land bought from Native Americans." (wikipedia)

"The Indian Territory had its roots in the British Royal Proclamation of 1763, which limited white settlement to Crown lands east of the Appalachian Mountains. Indian Territory was reduced under British administration and again after the American Revolution, until it included only lands west of the Mississippi River.

At the time of the American Revolution, many Native American tribes had long-standing relationships with the British, but a less developed relationship with the American rebels. After the defeat of the British, the Americans twice invaded the Ohio Country and were twice defeated. They finally defeated a Native American confederacy at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794, imposing the unfavorable Treaty of Greenville, which ceded most of what is now Ohio, part of what is now Indiana, and the present day sites of Chicago and Detroit to the United States.

The Indian Territory served as the destination for the policy of Indian Removal, a policy pursued intermittently by American presidents early in the nineteenth century, but aggressively pursued by President Andrew Jackson after the passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The Five Civilized Tribes in the South were the most prominent tribes displaced by the policy, a relocation that came to be known as the Trail of Tears. The trail ended in what is now Arkansas and Oklahoma, where there were already many Native Americans living in the territory, as well as whites and escaped slaves. Other tribes, such as the Delaware, Cheyenne, and Apache were also forced to relocate to the Indian territory." (wikipedia)
