It rendered worthless land grants given by the British government to Americans who fought for the crown against France . The Proclamation angered American colonists who wanted to continue their westward expansion into new farm lands and wanted to keep their control of local government . The Royal Proclamation continues to be of legal importance to First Nations in Canada .
