The Thirteen Colonies in 1763

After the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which was issued by the British government, the territorial boundaries and administrative divisions of the Thirteen Colonies underwent some changes. The proclamation was intended to stabilize relations with Native American tribes and to regulate westward expansion. Here's an overview of the Thirteen Colonies in 1763 after the Royal Proclamation:

Province of Massachusetts Bay: It included present-day Massachusetts and Maine..

Province of New Hampshire: This colony encompassed present-day New Hampshire.

Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations: It comprised present-day Rhode Island

Colony of Connecticut: It included present-day Connecticut.

Province of New York: It encompassed present-day New York state and a portion of present-day Vermont.

Province of New Jersey: It included present-day New Jersey.

Province of Pennsylvania: It comprised present-day Pennsylvania.

Colony of Delaware: A smaller colony located in present-day Delaware.

Province of Maryland: It encompassed present-day Maryland.

Colony of Virginia: The largest southern colony, it included present-day Virginia and parts of present-day West Virginia.

Province of North Carolina: It comprised present-day North Carolina.

Province of South Carolina: It included present-day South Carolina.

Province of Georgia: The southernmost colony, it comprised present-day Georgia.

The Royal Proclamation of 1763 also established a boundary, known as the Proclamation Line, running along the crest of the Appalachian Mountains. This line was meant to restrict westward expansion by the colonists and reserve the land west of the line for Native American tribes.

It's important to note that the Thirteen Colonies continued to experience territorial changes and shifting administrative divisions in the years leading up to the American Revolution, which ultimately resulted in the colonies declaring independence from Britain in 1776.
