At
the end of the Seven Years War, Great Britain and France were having
many problems to achieve peace together, much of this, because Spain did
not want to recognize the conquest of Spanish lands by the British
Empire. France, (in a memorable act, which allowed
the Paris Treaty to work) resigned all of its North American lands,
giving the territories east of the Mississippi River to England, and the
French territory in the west of the Mississippi, to the Spanish Crown. Then
it was forbidden for the settlers to inhabit the regions west of the
Mississippi River, although in practice this was not very obeyed.
