Question
what angered some of the colonists about the proclamation of 1763? question two... What was Parliaments response to colonial protests against the stamp act? question three...The Ohio River Valley was an area of land claimed by whom? question four....Why did the colonies grow so rapidly during the 1700's?

Answer
First of all, when you speak of colonies and colonists, I'm not entirely sure you're not referring to American history, with which I am of little. In either case, I'll see what I can do.
The Treaty of Paris in 1763 marked the end of the Seven Years War between Britain and France. The British, victorious, took all French territiory in North America, with the exception of St. Pierre and Miquelon, two small islands off the coast of Newfoundland. The British now controlled land from Hudson Bay down as far south as the Gulf of Mexico. What followed was the expulsion of those Acadians that would not pledge loyalty to the British crown. Also, land west of the 13 colonies was to be reserved for natives, annoying those colonists that wished to expand in that direction.
As for the rest of your questions, I recommend you consult an American historian. Thanks for your question.
